FSMap and Windows 7

As some of you might have noticed FSMap performance under Win7 Beta/RC is currently very slow compared to XP or Vista. The problem is that some GDI+ functions (which FSMap uses) appear to be much slower under Win7 than with XP/Vista. The good news is that there is a good "workaround" that even supports hardware acceleration: The new Microsoft Direct2D (D2D) API. Using this API the moving map performance has been increased by a factor of ten. I am currently adding support for D2D to my libraries, so all my products will benefit from it. I hope to have a first public Beta ready before Win7 goes RTM. More to follow soon.
