Hi, I upgraded to Suse 9.1 and found the KDE applications launch (all of them) very slow. Google reports other people having this problem. Sometimes it seems related to a problem with name resolving, but I don't think this is my case. I tested different PCs and the problem remains. On the same hardware (k6-2 400 MHz, 256M Ram) this are some timings: Konsole start, repeated several times to be shure it is in cache: Suse 9.1: 6 seconds Suse 8.2: 1.5 seconds Knoppix 3.6 (kernel 2.6, KDE 3.2.3) 2 seconds It doesn't matter if it is launched from the console or from menu. Other X applications (Xeyes) start in no time. Things get worse on slower hardware. During the launch time the cpu seems to be very busy, while the disk is barely accessed. It seems to me something is wrong with Suse 9.1. Am I the only one with this problem? Alberto
