One change in 2.6 that might be making Morphic look like a dog on your
P233 is that dragging an entire window and its contents is now
"standard" behavior. You might find Morphic much less doggy if you set
"fastDragWindowForMorphic" in Preferences to true, so only the window
outline is used. (Dragging whole windows is not quite satisfactory to me
even on a P2/400.)
