Strange Choppy WPF Animation

Question

I am making an app that scrolls information on the desktop. The window is transparent. I am starting out simple, trying to find the lowest CPU use for animating things and

Answer 1

I am having a very similar issue with a program I recently created using the WPF. It works fine on the build machine I am using which is running windows server 2003, but when I switch it to an XP machine with more than sufficient resources to run the program, it becomes extremely choppy. Basically it gets one frame per second. Every tick the animation will move along. I have heard of this problem where it goes away after the animation completes one cycle (through the animation) but for me it stays like this forever.

And I am not using the AllowsTransparency property, so if anyone else has any ideas I would very much appreciate it.

(the machine its failing on is also a Core 2 Duo)
