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.
It boots in about the same amount of time, till it gets to the login screen. After that the login process is much slower, when KDE gets to the desktop, it takes several minutes before it is usable. The desktop graphic shows as to the desktop icons, but the menu bar does not show for several minutes. When it does, the little icons by the clock such as volume, susewatcher etc don't show for another minute or two. During all this time clicking on any menu does nothing, until KDE finishes initializing.
After that all seems OK, but Yast is very very slow, much slower than in 8.2, which was already slow.
The machine itself is an older AMD K6-2 300mhz, so I know it is not a fast box at all, but I really did hope to see some speed improvements with 9.1 and the new kernel.
The only thing I changed before the upgrade was the monitor, nothing else.
Any ideas as to what and where to look would be much appreciated.
