I cannot seem to substantiate these findings. Here's what I get after 
successive timed trials:

3.8 without LookEnhancements: 4 - 5 seconds
3.8 with LookEnhancements: 4 - 5 seconds

I saw no measurable difference in the timing, and, if any, the performance 
was marginally better for some goofy reason. Honest! I am running a P4 
1.7GHz with 1 GB ram. Anyways, I don't find any hot spots to improve 
performance on at the moment.

Regards,

John
