There is a lengthy discussion about that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nvnews.net\/vbulletin\/showthread.php?t=84562\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<br \/>\nAn easy fix for this problem is, right click on the red diamond (Beryl manager) in the system tray and choose &#8220;Advanced Beryl Options-&gt;Rendering Path-&gt;Copy&#8221;. This should have an effect on the performance but at least it works :).
