Yes, some programs run as fast as can be expected (fetchmail. procmail,
exim4, lynx) some respond slowly (xemacs21 ) and some 
(mozilla family) are near comatose. So far I haven't needed a program 
that doesn't run adequately fast for my needs - but I have't tried
appletalk yet ( it did work under woody and sid, I didn't need it under 
sarge ; I hope it works under etch) . I had Xfree86 going under sarge
and hope that I can run xorg under etch.

That is what top indicates - thanks.

That level - keeping it simple :-)

Mac Quadra 610 - dmesg isn't that large perhaps I can attach it.

two slots  - two tens and a 4 elsewhere. Plan B - 'local' shop will
install more memory if you advise it's worthwhile.
