Why is D2007 so slow ?

Hello,

I've been using Delphi since version 3, so i'm not a newbie.

I used D3, D4, D6 and now we upgraded to D2007. Problem is i've noticed that
everything in D2007 is very, very slow in comparison with D6. Obviously, i know
it would be slower because the plenty of new features, but not so slow as it
is... 

For instance, when i'm coding and click F12 to see the form, D2007 takes about 2
or 3 seconds, in a project that in D6 this operation was real-time. Compilaton
also seems to be two times slower.

My laptop is a Core Duo 2 GHZ with 2 GB ram, so is not a hardware problem.

Is there a way to make things better ? Something like disable some features i'll
not use and stuff like this ?

Thanks.

Just to complete the post :

I also have the problems with Show component captions ; the component captions
does not show after the first compile.

Another problem is that my main form also does not show after the first compile
; after this, it shows a blank form, but all the components is there, only not
visible. I need to close D2007 and open it again, to see the main form.

I'm kind disappointed with this, as i use Delphi for such a long time with no
problems at all ; and this 2007 version seems to be the more unstable version
ever...

Any ideas would be very appreciated.

Thanks.

PS : I already applied the available updates.

And another weird behaviors i discovered in the last hours...

In some cases, when i compile the project, the whole screen keeps flashing very
fast, and stops only when the compile finishes. Also there is a project we have
that we can't close, because RAD Studio freezes on 60% cpu and we have to
manually close it in the task manager...

Any ideas would be very appreciated.

Thanks.

I'd be happy if this is the cause of the problems... :)

Another problem or difference : in D6 , when debugging, i could put the mouse
cursor in a variable and see its value. D2007 does not have this feature ?
