"Show Running Tasks On The Dock" is slow

from WinCustomize Forums
When I turn on "Show Running Tasks On The Dock" under the "Dock Contents" option, the icons appear just fine, but when I close a program, the dock locks up for 5 or 10 seconds while it tries to reomve the icon, which it eventually does. Changing the settings for left or right, z-ordering, postitioning or appearance/performance tweaks don't seem to change anything. Any clue why this happens? (And yes, it's the most recent version.) I really just want to get rid of the windows start bar completely, but don't want to have to rely on alt+tab to switch through programs. Maybe there's docklet to show running tasks that I haven't found yet?

The only thing I can think of is maybe your AntiVirus program is causing the slow down. I don't recall this specific problem, but by excluding ObjectDock from being scanned by my AV, everything got faster. Starting up, saving themes, closing dialogs, unloading, etc...
