I still get the pause zoom effect with a Qudro card; but only when using the
mouse wheel.
I since the wheel motion is almost more of a segmented "ratchet" motion, I
think the comp interprets each "click" of the wheel as a command.
So instead of using the zoom command-where the computer gets one command to
zoom and then it regens the image;
the computer is getting a command to zoom>then regen> but before it finishes
regening you spin the wheel to make it zoom again.
I think it just gets bogged down with a bunch of zoom commands while it is
trying to regen the image.
