Uhhm, I never touched the debian bootdisks :) It was 1.3.100, now pre2.04 ELF compiled with all everything not essential as module. > Also, if you have both a.out and ELF programs running simultaneously > that can be a reasonably large memory hit - sorry about the few Debian > packages left that are a.out . I checked it out, all programs running at this moment were ELF (only uucp was a.out). Emacs startup isn't so much slower, but it freezes the X server nearly completely for some seconds before the window appears. If I repeat the startup (directly from cache- no disc activity) the same happens (mouse freeze). Maybe loading of the big executable with its many libraries just uses more cpu time? > It really should not be slower - at least if you are using a custom > kernel. Generally it isn't slower, I only noticed the emacs startup problem. BTW, many thanks to all developers for their packages. There's not much left I'm missing ;) Olaf -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ! [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] !
