v2.3, 2.4, and 2.5's GUI is slow for me

I've been asking all over the place, namely different forums.  I even
e-mailed help at python.org about my problem, but they couldn't assist me too
much.

My problem is..the GUI for versions 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5 of Python run very
sluggishly.  When I type in them or move them around my desktop, it's very
slow.  I have figured out that this is because of the subprocesses running.  

To cope with this problem, I created an idle.txt file, and added this to the
first line of it:

c:\python25\python c:\python25\Lib\idlelib\idle.py -n

After that I saved the extension to .bat and now when I run that file, the
Python GUI opens without any subprocesses running and I have no problem. 
However, I'd still really like to know how I could fix this problem even
more.  I honestly don't understand why the GUI is so sluggish for me.  The
GUIs for Python version 2.2 and below run fine for me.  My system specs are
as follows:

Windows XP Home Edition
AMD Athlon XP 2800
nVidia 6800GT
1 gig of RAM

If anyone else could help, that would be great.
