Hi Dawn, As others in the thread have said: what are the hardware/memory constraints on your machine? What's the video card / graphic chipset? What earlier release were you moving from? What window manager / desktop environment are you running now? All of these may be factors: some software is becoming very memory intensive - looking at you, here, Firefox and Chromium - and the difference is sometimes noticeable. Any and all information you could give might be helpful. Often just writing it down is enough to remember "everything was so different before I changed some one thing" :) All the very best, as ever, Andy Cater
