Summary: GUI for Python 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5 is very sluggish

Initial Comment:
The GUI for Python versions 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5 are very sluggish.  When I type in them, or simply move them around my desktop, they are very slow. 

Someone helping me from help at python.org was able to guess that the reason the GUI is slow for me is because of the subprocesses running, and he was right.

To cope with this problem, I created an idle.txt file, and added this to the first line of it:

c:\python25\python c:\python25\Lib\idlelib\idle.py -n

After that I saved the extension to .bat and now when I run that file, the Python GUI opens without any subprocesses running and I have no problem.  However, I'd still really like to know how I could fix this problem even more.  The GUIs for Python version 2.2 and below run fine for me.  

I am using Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2.
