The new versions of KDE are just plain bigger (binary-size), which is going to consume memory and such, and they also have a lot more cpu-intensive features, which is going to slow things down. If you aren't upgrading KDE, this is an apples-to-oranges comparison - you could always install KDE 1 on RH8, and I bet that'd be quicker, too. -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
