Technical question for the Q regarding multiboxing. I've had two acccounts playing on my computer for a long time (dual screens ftw) and have never had a problem running both accounts at fullres/effects in windowed mode. I recently took advantage of the Scroll of Ressurection and now have 3 accounts. Suddenly when going from 2 to 3 accounts everything falls apart. I go from 50-60 fps to 1-2 fps. However, when I pop one of the accounts into full screen mode everything is fine again. WTH?

A few technical details you may need: 4 core AMD 1090T processor, Win 7 64 bit, 64 GB RAM, dual Radeon 7850 1GB cards...all the above overclocked/watercooled (though I undid the overclocking as a test...didn't fix). I'm guessing it is a software issue I don't know about rather than a hardware one. I just don't get the huge impact going from 2-3 accounts has, and why running 1 in full screen suddenly fixes everything (well...it fixes framerate but makes it more annoying to play that way).

Any tech gurus out there than can shed some light on this?
