Have you tried turning off the anti-aliased fonts stuff? I have a
wimpy[1] 850 mhz transeta crusoe machine, and the anti-aliased fonts,
besides looking nasty and blurry on the LCD, made the very few gnome
apps (abiword, celestia, gnucash) that I use dog-slow. Opening menus was
one particularly slow thing, it could not keep up with my mousing
ability to draw the menus, which is just disgusting.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>cat .fonts.conf
<!-- kill crap antialiasing -->
<match target="font">
<edit name="antialias" mode="assign"><bool>false</bool></edit>
</match>
And all is well. If someone understands fonts.conf BTW, I'd like to
enable AA for fonts >= 20 point only, if that is possible.
