Performance Problems !!!

I am a new user to window blinds. I just installed windowblinds over my xp system and whoa!! It's way better than the native skinning engine. But here are a few questions i have related to it:

1. I have a radeon 9200se 128mb graphics card. Does per pixel apha blending for my graphics card work in hardware or software? I have noticed a performance decease playing need for speed most wanted, but not in other games. Should i add all my game executables to the ignore list of window blinds?

2. Where should the slider for hyperpaint be set to?

3. I have disabled the xp themes service. But when i take a look at the files open by various processes using Tune UP process manager, uxtheme.dll is also loded by each application as well as wblind.dll. Why is that?

4. If anyone has any tips to get the best performance out of this software, do tell.
