Thanks, guys, that's exactly it.  When I boot the system
from the hard disk, it doesn't have the problem.  But if
I simply close the lid and reopen it, windows scroll like
lightning and sleep 10 sleeps for about 3 seconds.  The

into my mind yesterday, but I didn't actually consider
it, that should teach me.
