That
is odd. I have a P166/V2 and I get 10-12 average when there's not a field or planes in view.
Once engaged I get 4-5 FPS. This means I don't have a problem with people stick stirring - I never notice it! Hey, maybe that's the solution? Make sure nobody gets more than 5 FS? >

Now, just how did THAT particular smiley come out?
Do you leave anything running in the background? What controls do you have?
Cheers,
