Window move framerate bad in OSX 10.8.2

I'm not entirely sure what to make of this, but anything that involves moving or resizing of windows in OSX drops the framerate to under 10 FPS. This includes Expose and switching desktops, so a lot of the builtin OSX features just look really cruddy on the display being driven by my adapter.

I'm running a MacBook Pro 2012 with 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD. As my post says, I've got OSX 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion). My adapter is a Kensington Multi-Display Adapter (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834997695). My monitor's native resolution is 1680x1050, but the MBP 2012 has a lot of processing hardware. I'm not seeing much CPU utilization when the video starts to get all slideshow-y, so I really think this is a driver issue.
