I can't seem to get any flicker. As far as a CPU "spike", if I have a window with a lot of URLs and I move my mouse over them really fast, my CPU goes up no higher than 12%. That is higher than normal mouse movement, which tops at about 6%, but is not really a spike and you'd expect to use some extra CPU when going over a lot of URLs really fast. This is on Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit and mIRC 7.25. I also have Invision and some personal scripts loaded with multiple timers and such that should make it more likely to see problems like this.

I wonder if it relates in some way to system specs such as graphics cards or driver versions. Over remote desktop, it's not all that surprising to see a difference in performance, but with others saying they see it without remote desktop.... Not sure why it affects certain people and not others.

EDIT: Here are my specs in case anyone wants to try and compare specs on those who have the problem versus those you do not. I'm still leaning toward graphics cards or drivers, though it could of course be many other things.
