Slow mouse reactions on SW 2006

We have not updated SW in a while and we are now trying out SW 2006 SP 3.1
on a new system. The Engineers trying out the system are commenting on how
slow the performance is for mouse actions and I can see clearly what they
are complaining about. For instance when they use the middle scroll button
to zoom in and out it takes a good two seconds or more to move in or out
each click of the wheel. Clicking a surface to highlight it also takes a
couple of seconds when normally these things are instantanious.

Rotating the models are not too bad, but they do pause here and there when
they normally do not in the old setup. To compare new and previous system
setups:

New
============
Windows XP SP2
Athlon 64 3400+
Asus A8V main board
512 MB RAM
WD 160 GB SATA hard drive.
ATI Radeon 9800 128MB AGP 8x video card.

Old
============
SW 2001 Plus (Forget which SP)
Windows 2000 SP4
Athlon 2200+
Asus A7V8X Main Board
512 MB RAM
WD 80 GB EIDE hard drive
ATI XPert 2000 32MB AGP 2X Video card.

These models are not very big either. Our assemblies are only a few parts
that are only about a few inches.
