However, opening dialogs and windows is still dramatically slower under F15 vs F14. So what else changed? Is Gnome actually multiple layers with the window manager we switched out for XFCE only being the top layer of the stack? Is there a layer above the xorg X server that is slowing things down? So a part of the revamped Gnome is still there regardless. I ask because the gnome-system-monitor reports that it is running Gnome 3.0.1 even though it is running XCFE. Perhaps the slow dialog creation is unrelated to the windowing system...? I hate having to try and do performance analysis on open source applications to try and determine what the bottleneck is. The OS is supposed to just work.
