KDE impossibly slow
Hi everyone.
I´ve just installed sarge (release 3.1r0a) on my
Athlon XP 2600+, 512mb RAM, and I cannot get KDE
to work in a tolerable speed. After I log on in kdm,
I get the splash screen, which "hangs" in "starting system
services"... I thought it had crashed, but after about 7
minutes, it got KDE started!
Inside KDE, things go really slow as well. After I click
on the ´K´ button, it takes about 2-3 minutes for the menu
to appear.
Clearly no one can work with such a system.
Strangely enough, windowmaker works just fine, while
gnome won´t get started even after several minutes of waiting
(unlike KDE).
I´m a newbie to debian, but not to linux (at least I thought
so until today). Can anybody figure what is going wrong?
