What I would like to see is a comparison to a Windows XP system on the same box similarly configured from start to when all the tray thingies are fully loaded.
I think most of the comparisons that have been done show there isn't usually much in it. XP boots pretty quickly, despite enabling absolutely everything along the way. I don't run Windows at all now, but on any machine I've had both XP and Linux installed, Linux is slower to boot to a full runlevel 5.
However, I don't mind waiting a few seconds longer for a more flexible and secure system!
David -- "Never offend people with style when you can offend them with substance" -Sam Brown Suse 9.1 runs slow on anything under 256 MB ram, why would Suse want you to run on less than that? You will find that in future releases you will need more and more CPU and memory to drive the OS. Not to mention faster hard drives etc. The biggest speed drop was in 8.2 and was solved by adding memory, I have to add memory again in 9.1 now running 512, I can't imagine what I will need in
