DirectX 9 performance in Vista RC1

I play EVE and a few other games. EVE, in particular, is very DX9-intensive.
Although I had no trouble installing it and getting it to start (the Fonts
key registry trick is no longer needed) the game ran slowly, with low FPS
and long load times. I set it to compatibility mode: XP SP2 and now it works
MUCH better.

Just thought the community might like to know that, if your 3D gaming isn't
going very well. Of course, some games won't even install without
compatibility mode; those should already be set to use compatibility after
installation.
