What I did notice was that on a cold start of for example Firefox or Systemsettings in openSUSE there's 3-5 secs of intense disk activity, while in Mandriva they'd just pop right up without any (audible) disk activity - on the same hardware with 1 gig of ram.
Hmm, your openSUSE is installed from scratch too? Because updated suses are always slower than installed. That's unfortunate, but even for ext4 there doesn't exist a reliable defrag tool yet ;(
I always do fresh install. However I don't format /home, just do some "manual" cleanup. But this particular laptop I had only owned for about 4 months at that time, and I don't use it very much and there's tons of free space on it. So I don't think it could have been too fragmented.
And the application startup difference is really huge, the first time I started Firefox on Mandriva I was litterally in disbelief thinking "what the f...?!?" .. usually starting Firefox means it's time to go get some coffee.
Possibly they simply preload Firefox? That's what we did in the past. I'll have a look, I should be able to starting firefox :) Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
