Its actually a feature, but I don't have a link to where it's documented. :) The user interface is likely to be the lowest-priority thing for Windows to update. It may be possible to experiment with changing the priorities of the system and see if this has any impact. Right-mouse on your "My Computer" icon (Windows XP, 98). Go to the "Advanced" tab. You will see a section marked "Performance" with a button marked "Settings." Please click on that. A "Performance Options" window will appear, at least under XP (it's been a while for me for the older dialects of Windows). Please select the "Advanced" tab. The "Processor scheduling" section offers choices for "Background services," which I think the clock update counts as. This is the experiment. Please select that radio button. In the "Visual Effects" tab, there are some adjustments as well, but I think they're limited to the rendering of windows on the desktop. There might be something to gain by selecting "Adjust for best performance," which turns off a lot of the decorations.
