Hello all, For the last day or so, I have mostly been using Gnome and Orca from the unstable branch of Debian. OK it's good but overall I'm not extremely impressed. Orca tends to be laggy, and it becomes even more so after being run for a while or after opening like two or three programs. Web navigation using Firefox 3.0.1 is sluggish at best. Try pressing tab very fast through a page of links or arrowing through. There is nothing snappy about Orca's performance. Opening directories results in a slight freeze if there is more than just a few files. I checked my memory and it appears as though most of it is being used...I believe I only have about 40MB or so left out of 512MB. Is this low for what I'm trying to do? I would have thought that these problems were only on my end but I had a friend who experimented with it for a while and came to the same conclusion - that it is slow, unresponsive, and sluggish. Would you guys agree that this is general? Is this a problem with the design methods - perhaps that it is coded in Python instead of a higher-performing language like C/C++? What are your experiences? Thanks, Robby
