Windows 7 64 bit issues with X11

Hi,

I was hoping that somebody could assist me with the following issue.
I recently installed a windows 7 64 bit professional on a desktop with following specs: Intel Core i7 3.4Ghz, 16 GB DDR3 RAM, AMD Radeon HD 6450.
(Which was a upgrade of a xp 32 bit based system)

Since I'm more working on unix based systems in the company, I installed a x11 client (cygwin / xming take your pick) and connect to a linux host with a x11 server running from which I do my stuff on other linux hosts.

Since the windows 7 host, I expirience a gigantic lag when using terminals or using x11 in general that I reverted back to putty terminals. (Of which is nothing wrong but multiple desktops are quite handy instead of 20 putty's on the taskbar)

Things I did to check but didn't have the desired effect:

- updated local hardware drivers
- tried several x11 client solutions
- playing around with x11 connection parameters
- checked on other hosts (also win 7 64 bit)
- ...

Now, since this is a 'professional' version of win 7 I installed 'windows xp mode' which is just a virtual 32 bit xp client.
The strange thing is that x11 works perfectly on that virtual pc so I had a hunch trying the path of the architecture. So it seems that a virtual windows 7 32 bit also works perfectly and there is no lagging.

Using the process explorer from sysinternals, I also noticed that the GPU usage is abnormally high when perform commands in the x11 window.

So this points me two possible directions: Graphic card or CPU architecture.

Anybody has some idea's on which I could discover the cause and perhaps find a fix for it?

Thanks
kristof
