I routinely use 6 'spaces' on my MacBook with around 6-10 Safari windows (each with 4-5 tabs) together with preview and maybe microsoft office, mail, calendar, dictionary and addressbook open.

With this workload my macbook starts becoming really slow and laggy when you open 'spaces' even though there is minimal spike in processing seen on the istat cpu monitor... Is spaces' animation accelerated by videocard? I've seen some lag with my iMac as well which has much stronger videocard...
