WinMove slow?

[this-is-me 4]

I have a script where I would like to slide a splash screen around on the desktop. My problem is that even when the script runs quickly, the winmove operation goes slowly...

for $i = 0 To 30
    WinMove("", "", 0, $i)
Next

Obviously I don't have the complete code here, but the code shown will move the current window 30 pixels down. This runs very slowly. Is this a bug? I have tried accessing the window by handle, to see if getting the window's name each time is the problem, but it is still the same speed.

On the other hand, If I call splashtexton or splashimageon multiple times, It runs very quickly (although it flashes really badly).

There is a 250ms pause when the WinMove command is finished , but don't know why its in there...

Hmm, yeah it probably isn't needed on a winmove command. I'll remove it but to workaround just set the WinWaitDelay to 0

Thx, Jon.
