that amount of RAM running Shrike. RedHat is following the Microsoft
model that as machines get faster you build more hardware intensive
software to slow them down.

Its just a frustration for those of us with less powerful machines. Red Hat does not have to write the software to include it in the distribution. All I am saying you need to be more selective about what you install. For example, the Mozilla loads maybe 5 times slower than the Mozilla in 7.3. Why I don't know. To be truthful I have been trying to pin down why RH 9 is so much slower than earlier distributions on the same hardware and I can't pin it down. For example I has to triple the RAM (from 128 -> 384) to be able to make RH 9 even mildly tolerable on my 450 MHZ machine at work,
I would be glad to find someone who knows why this is happening. I
have looked and I am stumped. I get load factors of > 3 when top says
nothing is really running that is taking up more than a few percent of
CPU time.
