Yeah, the improved touchscreen performance is absolutely AMAZING. I did a bit of benchmarking and I didn't detect and improvement in GAPI performance, with and without the tweak.

What I especially like is the "Enhanced the video driver" improvement.

It improved Betaplayer's performance by 5% AND reduced all LCD "tearing" that used to occur when using the 2700G's video decoder to rotate the video. So I assume that means finally sync'ed the 2700G's video decoder and the LCD but I haven't tried any low-qual WMVs yet (high-qual WMV's still lag... waiting on Betaplayer to hopefully fix this sometime), though I remember they used to tear a lot. Good stuff Dell! :)

how do i install the 2700g plugin for the beta player? I think i'm supposed to see that in the options but I don't see it.
