I'm using icewm and it is *fast* and functional. You mentioned
seeing a slow down in performance when going from 2.4 to 2.6 kernel.
This is the opposite of my experience.
I find 2.6 much faster than 2.4. Strange...
My setup is a 570E thinkpad PIII 500MHz with just 128MB RAM.
You've got 26(or so) S* entries in your rc.2/ directory. With that
many start up scripts... booting is going to take a long time. My
Thinkpad does a great job of suspending, so I don't necessarily have
to reboot all the time.
