Thats not really the problem, the problem is apparently the control used to draw the text isn't written as well as it should be, note if you use IE on a website with tons of graphics all over, and colored text all over, scrolling doesn't slow it down one bit. Keep in mind I'm not referring to some slow machine, I'm on a 1.4Ghz machine, mIRC is the only program that goes slow with colors all over. I also note that if I do the same in a standard Windows RichEdit control, it does not lag either. This means the problem isn't the system, nor the fact that there are a lot of color codes, the problem is the way mIRC handles them.
