Minor - Link Data (L3 Cheat)/Initialization Data, frozen for a short time [798]

Accessing Link Data in ZC/Initialization Data in ZQ will temporarily freeeze the program, then continues running.

THis is evidently because the Allegro GUI code is really slow. Trying to think of ways to deal with it.

Problem continues to persists all the way up to 846. During the freeze, I saw a flashing pixel at the bottom-rightmost of screen. When the pixel is white, the program unfroze.

Just wanted to report that this only occurs in windowed mode for me. It works great in fullscreen. I was in large mode both ways. Haven't tested normal mode yet.

Eh, ZQuest is almost always frozen for me. The bigger the window, the more molasses-like it becomes. It's only barely tolerable in the smallest windowed mode. (Zelda-w however, is fine in such a small mode. Perfect. Though any larger, and it's not tolerable, though playable.)

Celeron D 3.0 Gig, 2 Gig RAM, GeForce FX 5200...

It's been this way for the past 50 digits of betas.

What OS are you running? I was having the same issue when i was using Vista, but I reformatted my hard drive and installed XP and I have no issues with it anymore.

It seems the problem is now fixed in 863. I see no freeze at all. I bet it is the recent change by jman2050 that corrected this. I will mark it dead.
