Hi all,

Thanks to the deps list of Pavel Reznicek we managed to upgrade all our systems
from E-0.17.5 to E-0.18.5.
The good news is no segv's up to now. Great!

However E18 seems to be more demanding then E17..
E.g. one of our older PC's isn't capable of doing OpenGL:

   NVIDIA Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] [10de:0181]
   Kernel driver in use: nouveau

In E17 we simply unloaded the Composite module.
This tremendously speeded up the system!
Moving of windows was fast and smooth.

In E18 however there is no Composite module any more.
We checked "Disable compositing effect" and unloaded the file manager modules,
but that doesn't help.

What can be done to speed things up for older hardware?

In the past Enlightenment was a "light weight" Window Manager
especially well suited for less capable hardware (e.g. tablets, smartphones).
Is that no longer true?

What version of Enlightenment is recommended for less capable hardware?

Has hardware OpenGL become a requirement?

Thanks,
