1 second is significant? I'm sorry, but you really need to get a life. If you can't wait that long something is seriously wrong.
control center Ubuntu - takes cca. 1 sec. openSUSE - takes cca. 3 seconds
Oh gee, now it's 2 seconds..
If he thought it was hugely significant, he probably wouldn't be on this list, would he? But every app in both KDE and GNOME (cold) starting very noticably faster, in seemingly just about any other distro on the same hardware, is something that should be taken seriously. *The* most common complaint about openSUSE from non-fanboys and distro- tourists is that "openSUSE is slow". While people usually don't specify what exactly is slow when and where, there seems to be some truth to it when it comes to application (cold) startup. People usually assume it's caused by the starting of a few additional services compared to other distros, but I don't buy that a few extra services can make such a big difference on a modern "Vista capable" computer. I think something is wrong on a lower level - whether it is linking, file system, kernel, compile options or something else I have no clue - but I'm quite sure something is wrong somewhere. Like I said before, the feeling of responsiveness with regards to application startup in Mandriva 2009.0 compared to openSUSE (9.2 -> 11.1), was simply shocking. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
