Look at the output from "top" and see if you're using swap memory (diskspace) instead of real RAM. That's dead slow, in comparison, and the hard drive will churn like crazy. I hadn't seen drive swapping since I abandoned Windows, but the current release of Fedora requires so much more memory, than before, that I had to put more into the computer to stop it swapping all the time. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
