I know you solved your issue with a new laptop, but there's a few things worth trying if someone else has the problem and finds this thread...

The power scheme you use, and whether you boot the laptop plugged into the AC or on batteries, can have an effect on its performance.  Some of the internal flags twiddled by the power schemes are sticky and the only way to get them set consistently from use to use is to do a full reboot of the laptop after each change.

I'm sure YMMV applies, but this has been my experience debugging weird software performance issues for wok.

Thanks, this was very helpful, but even the most recent version seemd to lack a walkcycle with the character walking away from the camera (ie. upscreen).  I couldn't use the forward walkcycle because then the knees and elbows bent in a disconcerting direction.  So... I hacked on the Forward.xml file one evenring to create a passable walkcycle for this.

I can't attach it to this post, and its pretty long (so I didn't want to inline it in this post),  It can be found at http://mysite.verizon.net/~patbobw/Back.xml.

Sorry, I'm not very web-tech savvy, so browsers won't follow the link and display anything meaningful.  You can wget the file from the link, or open it in a browser and view the page source to see the XML, then cut-n-paste that into a file.  The one thing you can't do is open the link in a browser and save it to a file -- the browser seems to mangle the file because its trying to interpret it somehow.

Hope this helps.

SSH: feel free to bundle this with the generator if you want -- a back walkkcycle is the last significant bit of functionality that's missing.  Mine's not perfect, but its pretty close.
