Giving ArcGIS Earth another try now that 1.1 is released.

I am still experiencing dismal performance  - local shapes are slow, very slow to draw, ArcGIS services are even slower, and adding a WMS service is even worse. The TOC control for URL Map services with many layers and groups is broken as well! Am I missing something? I have a robust laptop (Dell M3800 workstation class laptop with i7 processor and plenty of RAM and high speed fibre broadband), is there a graphics processor setting or something I missed?  Any comments or advice? Anybody else experiencing this?  I can't even demo this without it becoming embarrassing to esri...

The specs are here, ArcGIS Earth | ArcGIS  and there is the link in the Hardware requirements to check for compliance.  Since it is graphics heavy, I would probably guess that video card and its ram could be a limiting factor.  I translate their "recommended" to minimum...and esri always recommends that you install the latest drivers from the manufacturer rather than letting your operating system do the updates.
