have you applied the optimisation recommendations in the Windows 7 and Windows 8 optimisation guide?

I suspect the choppiness when moving windows between screens is because you haven't disable "Show window contents while dragging" in the Visual Effects tab (see attached). This is disabled when running our suggested optimisations in the above:
rem Set Windows Visual Effects to Optimized for best performance
reg ADD “hku\temp\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
VisualEffects” /v VisualFXSetting /t REG_DWORD /d 0x2 /f
I would also disable 3D in the pool, unless you need it, but based on what you've said above, you don't.
