XFree86 uses 75% of CPU, it takes 30 seconds to open an application
XFree86 uses 75% of CPU when opening a new Konqueror
or any new application.
Now I have a way I like to use KDE, 16 desktops labeled
alphabetically from a to z. I know mail is on desktop
"M". Konqueror with Yahoo is on desktop "Y".
I start up with about 16 Konqueror windows and
a netscape window and 4 consoles.
Anyhow, it takes from 30 to 60 seconds to open
a new konqueror window or any application.
The reason is XFree86 uses 75% of CPU according to
top.
I have a Athlon 1700xp with a 512MB and 256MB
PC133 memory with a Kaiser S305-32A
video card (32MB memory on video card).
Any way to get XFree86 not to hog CPU time?
Am I the only person having this slowness?
Thanks,
J
