The entire system is slow whatever it does. Loadavg jumps up
quickly. When running a simple yum update, loadavg goes above 6. User
processes don't seem to get as much cpu power as would be possible.
Windows take seconds to open. The GNOME Desktop is not as responsive
as in F8 either. Opening dialogs, clicking buttons, there seems to be
a penalty on everything. It's unbearable. Testing rawhide or F9 is no
fun at all. Why is this? I remember that during Fedora Core test
releases various kernel debugging features are enabled. Is this the
reason also this time? Has it become much more cpu power hungry than
e.g. with FC7 and older?
I have to agree as I experience the same thing. *Sometimes* it is a
little faster, but most often than not, it's slowww for most things.
Like I even mentioned in the install observations, the rpm install
itself took 2 hours or better to finish.
I do find nautilus to be pretty slow opening directories with more than 20 or so
items.. my home takes over 2s to display. My home has 49 folders/files mixed
right now. It sometimes will work quickly for a bit after that first slow open,
but not always. I can see it open slowly 2-3 times in a row. The cpu usage
spikes heavily when it is reading the directory.
