(oh Great! there is a 2nd Thom on this thread) I wondered what you were on about. I have a list of broken things, but am generally satisfied with 9.1. I don't know if I should try a thread for each or just list them. Is anybody doing bug tracking? On Saturday 26 June 2004 11:46, linuxjim wrote:
I tried reducing the resolution and color bits, and shut down suseplugger. No increase in speed. This thing is UNBEARABLY slow. Yast takes over 2 minutes to start up. Even logoff takes about a minute. I wonder what kind of machine it takes to make 9.1 rock?
I guess I'll try a fresh install to see what that does. Its that or go back to 8.2 (I missed buying 9.0 as I had purchased 8.2 not long before 9.0 release. I was not familiar with the suse product cycle times then). Either way its a fresh install, so I'll try 9.1 again but fresh this time.

Greetings all,
I upgraded one of my 8.2 boxes to 9.1, and expected to find 9.1 a bit faster than the older version. So far that ain't happening. I did the upgrade, not fresh install. I had to clear out some older programs to eliminate dependencies, but other than that all seem to go fine.

Correct. ALL of the installs I've done, 9.1 IS slower than 9.0, which is what I've upgraded all of them from. I don't pretend to know why, but some work needs to be done "somewhere" in the area of performance.
