Re: Please help: Sarge+KDE terribly slow!?
| On my home PC (333MHZ Celeron, 192MB RAM)
| I was happy user of Woody with KDE (regullary updated)
| as my desktop env.
|
| Graphical desktop started about 1-2 minutes
| and after next 1 minute I had fully functional desktop.
|
| But one day I decided to upgrade to Sarge
| - after one day battle it was done.
|
| Now I have to wait about 10 minutes to start KDE desktop,
| and first start of any application (konsole, mozilla)
| takes a long time.

I use a somewhat similar, but even slower system ....
o Compaq Presario .... 5.5 years old
o Cyrix processor .... 250 Mhz
o Memory ............. 192 MB
o Dual-Boot OS
o Win98_SE
o Debian Sarge
Re-starting Win98_SE and booting into Debian Sarge
with the KDE desktop fully loaded takes about 4.5 minutes ....
Approximate application start-up times
from KDE panel icons ....
o konsole ............ 07-08 sec
o kwrite ............. 09-10 sec
o konqueror .......... 09-10 sec
o moz firefox ........ 34-36 sec
o moz thunderbird .... 24-26 sec
Although the application start-up times are a bit slow,
they seem acceptable to me given the limited nature
of the hardware I'm using ....
In all cases after the initial start-ups,
the applications respond very quickly ....
Both Mozilla applications, firefox & thunderbird,
also load slowly under Win98_SE on this same machine,
so I don't think that is Debian related ....
Since this is my first Linux OS, I don't know
whether or not these start-up times are in the
same ball-park as others using similar hardware ....
