You may be able to speed it up a bit by recompiling the rpms or whatever to
your processor speed. I think they generally come compiled for a 386 and if
you don't comile them you really won't get the true performance.

Subject: xwindows slow in general or...?
Hi,
Is it just my installations or it is a fact that xwindows, and say KDE or
Gnome, are slower than any win95/98/NT/2000 installation on the same
machine? I'm trying hard to convince my wife not to go back to windows,
but I've done three installations with XF86 (replacing MSwindows) and none
of them have came close to the speed of the M$ product. This is very
depressing to say the least. I personally use the shell mostly, but wanted
to start using KDE, but I can't justify it if it is so much slower. Or...
am I doing something wrong? Three different machines, with two distros and
all are slower using the standard RedHat installation. Anything I can do
to speed things up configuration-wise? (not hardware - the very least I'd
expect is the *same* speed as Windoze with the same hardware).
Ta muchy,
Stephen
