#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
ect.
