Has anyone noticed a slowdown in the performance of their machine when upgrading from 8.1 to 8.2? My machine definitely feels slower. No matter which desktop (or window manager) I use, everything just seems to be a bit sluggish as compared to SuSE 8.1. Well,
the kernel on Suse 8.2 has the new scheduling algorythm, which (IIRC) gives more CPU to active interactive processes [i.e. interactive process that have keyboard/mouse focus] as well as a bunch of other stuff. The seti problem someone mentioned might be related to that. At any rate, a different scheduler might mean that some setups indeed are slower now ... Alternatively, doublecheck to see that - the amount of RAm in your box is correctly detected - DMA on your IDE disks is correctly set - You haven't enabled some extra processesin your startup that happen to eat a lot of CPU (top is your friend here) If you want some more help, it would help if we could have some more info on your system (laptop ? desktop ? CPU, which suse kernel, amount of ram, video board &c &c &c ....)
