Is it just me or is Trillian quite slow? I have installed it on 2 pc's, a 2ghz laptop and 1.3ghz server (my webserver) and it ran slow on both, took ages to load (i consider anything longer than 5 seconds to be ages) and it lagged when you move the screen around or maximise it.
Anyone else notice this?

| Only when you first load it after boot, when all the plug-ins need to load. Otherwise, I've noticed it to be fairly fast... |

It can be slow to load, but no longer than 10 seconds. Trillian 2 never had this problem, but I dont see it as a big one.
Trillian dosent lag a bit for me after that, with 100+ conversation windows it still works great. (I cant test it further, only have ~220 contacts :()

I had to reformat my comp, I installed trillian, and it runs faster than AIM IMO.

The actual AIM client blows, I dont like popups or ads on even free things (Unless discreet.) so I changed to trillian and love it.

I hacked my AIM so i dont have any of those Ads, since all my friends use it, i use it all the time. If anyone else has AIM v5.9.3797 I can send u the AIMRes.dll file which will get rid of those ads for ya.

I hear there are patches to do that too, but trillian is so much better I could never go back.
Plugins make my life worth living.

For those of you intrested in choice, GAIM is quickly catching up in the same features as trillian. (And its free and open source).

Well, if you don't like ads, and want something free, try Kopette. I use it all the time, and it's great.
I'm not sure if there is a Windows-version of it though... |

Like the Yahoo Ads? if so I'd Try the Sector 101 Ad Removal... It's quite awsome if i do say so myself.
After i get their permission i'll host a copy of it on my site.
