Basically Full-screen mode is only there because of historical reasons (it used to be the fastest mode, in windows 98 and perhaps early XP). Modern windows video drivers don't really handle that mode well. In addition, you will see more scrambled palette problems in windowed mode because modern windows assume that mode is obsolete, windows 7 had to have a special batch file written since it uses the game's 256 colour palette for "aero" desktop effects.
So if it is set to "Full screen" mode then switch to "Windowed" mode and the lag should disappear.
Yes I play fullscreen. I didn't see palette problem.
I understand now why I feel games are badly made: as they don't use fullscreen, when I go in bottom of screen then it makes appear my Windows taskbar, it's boring.
I didn't test with SP at now (writing from work office).
