Hi Dawn,
As others in the thread have said: what are the hardware/memory constraints
on your machine? What's the video card / graphic chipset?
What earlier release were you moving from?
What window manager / desktop environment are you running now?
All of these may be factors: some software is becoming very memory intensive
- looking at you, here, Firefox and Chromium - and the difference is
sometimes noticeable.
Any and all information you could give might be helpful. Often just writing
it down is enough to remember "everything was so different before I changed
some one thing" :)
All the very best, as ever,
Andy Cater
