Thanks for informing and yes, the "-ga" basically works now but the 
slowdown is still present. And actually things are now worse as "-ga" 
now displays the current frame number - in 3.5 it displayed nothing. 
Even that seems to be enough to slow the animation rendering constantly. 
There should be at least a possibility to turn the whole text output 
completely off if nothing else can be done to slowdown.

Now I remember that this issue has been mentioned some time (years?) before
at the newsgroups here. Someone said it was a windows issue. Maybe there is
another part of the windows library that doesn't show this behaviour?
