Constuctor nice but seems buggy "Not responding

I still prefer constructor to other tools, but it seems to have a problem running on my system (oh, that's an idea.. maybe try it on another for work! but anyway:..)

I have a dual-core WinXP pro system with an NVIDIA 8500GT. The problem I am getting is that the program seems to really hate losing focus. Whenever it loses focus (alt-tab, other monitor etc) it seems to go into not-responding for a long time and tho it usually comes back it's rather inconvenient.

It makes the program next to unusable in a single-monitor environment, so I tried with dual-monitors and it still occurs tho it makes it a little easier to wrangle.

Are you low on resources? Constructor is very memory intensive, if you are low on memory, then you could get pauses when things are swapped in and out.

Also, if you're low on disk space, Windows might be paging the hell out of your system.
