You may be experiencing some of the slowness that others experienced with 8.2. I was running 8.0 on an AMD 800mhz computer and was quite happy but once I loaded 8.2, things slowed down considerably. If I tried to start OO, it would spend 3 minutes showing me the 'frame' of the window with the desktop showing through, then it would fill in the window... but still it would take about another 2 minutes for the keyboard to become active in OO. In otherwords, it was painful.
My friends system did the exact same thing when I first installed it (8.2). I figured maybe I didn't tell it to install the Athlon kernel or something, so I did a re-install (and remembered about halfway through that *I* didn't need to tell it what CPU was being used...yeah, a real brain fart), and on the second installation his system was moving *fast*. In some instances his Slot A Athlon 500MHz is faster than my T-Bird Athlon 1.3GHz (most notably his YaST2 control center pops up *much* faster than on my machine). I have no idea why the second installation should have made KDE more responsive, than on the first installation (I changed nothing during the installation, I did it all exactly the same as I did the first installation, even formatted the partition(s)), all I know is his 8.2 on his system (256MB pc133 RAM and the Athlon mentioned above), is as fast or faster than his ol' lady's P4 2GHz w/ 256MB DDR RAM, W98SE system. Heh, go figure. lol
John's experience looks very close to mine. But OpenOffice will remain a bit slow to make me like it. However, it just works!
