 Don't forget that if you install the latest versions of Ambient you will also have to install MUI4 which is also debug enabled and afaik you can't disable this.
 Anyway, i would be interested to see a performance comparison from you, in case that you decide to install them. :-)

Thanks, I will try that. Is there any known difference in stability between the two different MUI4 alpha versions (2005 and 06/2006)?

 I don't know if there are any actual differences in stability, but from what i've heard the latest MUI4 causes some MUI apps to misbehave, not to crash.

you may want to try the official Mui Alpha Release from last year or so,
simply because it is IIRC also a non debug Version which should be noticable faster on a Power Up System.

 I don't know if this means anything or not, but if you version the new mui systems files, you will see a DEBUG indication. Also, they are much bigger in size.
 I assume that we are talking about this version?:

 Ok.

 I have just installed Ambient 1.43 and i find it good. At startup, it consumes only (about) an extra MB from version 1.41.
 I haven't test it for CPU usage but it feels almost as fast as v1.41 was. The system monitor reports a _significant_ increase in CPU usage, though, but perhaps it's because it has a graph in this version and the graph steals some CPU cycles.

 Btw, i have found that directories which has an old Amiga icon are not clickable! You can not double-click them, move them or anything. You have to do a RMB click and select "open". Do you have this problem?

EDIT: corrections

 Yes, i'm using blade's compile and it probably has to do with its "Icon hover effects". The problem doesn't occur with other versions.
