Vista users, when folding using the ATI GPU2 client, does ppd increase if you choose Windows Theme to classic instead of "aero"?

If it does increase, the increase will be a small, insignificant amount.

I noticed that a process called dwm.exe was using 0-3% cpu usage. It was due to Aero. I changed the theme and now it's gone. Wouldn't be very useful for GPU folding, but could help give you some extra ppd in SMP.
