on windows7 (x64) mirc seems to be really laggy when scrolling, my Font is Tahoma 8pt, and scrolling seems to be really sluggish also noticed it using almost %30 cpu, on a quad core :S

Hmm, maybe have a look at the following thread:

No, unfortunately not. No idea what's causing it or how to resolve it, sorry.

In fact I got used to it by now... but still it sucks.

What is the manufacturer&model of your CPU?

edit: also, motherboard, RAM (clockspeed and capacity if possible), GPU (if any)...
Posted By: Brattmfc Re: scroll bar lag? - 01/01/10 06:40 PM
Intel Core Quad Q9550
motherboard, cant remember exact model but decent gigabyte one
ram 6gb
gpu 9500gt

does any know if its possible to edit the usage of pgup/pgdn keys for mirc, so that they scroll 1 line up per time, like irssi does, this could be a workaround that would work for me :P

That is Ctrl+Page Up/Down in mIRC
See /help key combinations

Just to add my own experience with it... I have noticed just once that the scroll speed got "laggy" when scrolling through heavily colored text (a bunch of testing I was doing for a script that had a lot of colors on each line and filled almost a full maximized window). As soon as I got beyond that, it went back to normal, but every time I went over that area, it got noticeably slow. I've never noticed that happen before, but wanted to put out the info about lots of color changes being a factor.

Specs:
Athlon XP 6000+, 2GB RAM, GeForce 220, Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit

yeah, noticed this too when text is larger/colored, its ALOT more laggy, really strange bug anyway since my old laptop is a crap amd on xp and has no problem with it on 32pt text even lol
if any1 finds a fix for this plz post here, for now i am using irssi, and its ugly!
