Well, hard to tell... To be sure one should wire a real measurement 
instrument in the relevant parallel port pin.

Check also your CPU activity monitor. The CW generation thread is 
performed with one of the highest priority available in the OS, but 
another internal thread could slow it down (never experienced such a 
case, but who knows...).

One last thing, related to windows sizes : If you're lacking space, you 
can reduce font sizes on most "child" windows within its contextual 
menu, or by using a Ctrl + Mouse wheel on them (a la mozilla/firefox). 
And if you're lucky enough to have a two-screen setup, you can spread 
child windows on both. Last tip : Using the option / floating windows 
mode also saves some space.
