Under fc13, even when I had multiple kernel builds going, 6 FF windows, each with 3 to 4 tabs, and Thunderbird running, switching workspaces was snappy. Something is terribly wrong with Xserver or Gnome, or Ati Radeon Driver, or all 3. What's worse: it will be exceedingly difficult for me to roll back to fc13. Isn't progress wonderful! I hope an Xorg developer sees this!! -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
