[Dx4win] Momentary Pauses in Windows 7 Ultimate

At first, I would be operating CW and find the first time I went to the 
CW typing window there would be an accasional pause before the soft-key 
content would appear and be sent.  I attributed this to the fact I was 
using USB-to-serial-to-key keying.

But, it now appears I get this randomly in the behavior of different 
windows when they get focus.  For example, if I click on a spot that 
should take me to a new frequency, the QSO window clears, but the new 
entry doesn't popular immediately, just like the CW window didn't 
populate with the text from the soft-key press.

In retrospect, I think this also happened in the "packet" window when I 
was getting that set up.  Might still happen but I'm not really looking 
at it to see it.

I only see this on change of window focus to an input-type window, that 
is a window that wold let me type into it.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

73, Byron
