I am wondering if dxdiag shutsdown some of the functions like DirectDraw and Direct3D when opened to concentrate on the other tests it runs. There is a way from within dxdiag to disable those two functions that might help. Or possibly lower the video acceleration.

I tried it also and my slowness disappeared when DxDiag was open.

Looks to me to be a valid work-around for those being bothered by the slowness. We still can't find any direct code in Hoster that we can link to causing the slowness.
