Post Tabbing out of SS=Graphical Delay
When i minimize SS for a few minutes(Say, to write a message on the forums), when I return there is a longish period of time where the game seems to have to "Catch Up" on everything that happened while I was away. For example, planets suddenly spin up to 240 degrees or so in a half second, and bullets and engine trails dont show up at all for 30 seconds to a minute.

Have you tried watching your RAM during this period? Sounds like SS is throwing up graphics on you

That's an issue with your graphics card's drivers, you should update them

28mb is so low it's ridiculous. 128 is not much better

The only reason that can run skyrim is because of that 1.6k shared memory.

That's laughably bad you need a better graphics card to run star sonata or any game from the past 8 or so years
