Bernd,

Good observation. You're right about a lot going on behind the scenes.  
That's what makes it frustrating.
I talked to Kevin about it some years back, when the problem with OS X  
came up. I was told that Mark Waddingham had looked into it, but that  
it was complicated and difficult to fix.
You can see one of the problems on Rev's web site: http://revmedia.runrev.com/revMedia/
Notice how the motion stutters when it executes the command: Move  
image "rev icon" to 60,60
(On second thought, I guess that could be an artifact of their screen  
capture software. Everything seems to bump along.)

I'm sure they have a lot on their plate right now and this is not a  
high priority issue.
