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.


Much bigger mozilla now? more plugins, which you weren't using before? bigger mail files?

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


Agreed, RH9 is very sluggish in a number of scenarios - but OTOH fedora is much snappier than 7.3

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.


That typically indicates i/o issues - are you quite sure dma is enabled?
