Fumie,

        You need to do 2 things:

(1) get rid of beagle. It is the indexing system that drags even fast boxes
down. As root, execute the following in a console window:

rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep beagle | sed -e '/^lib/d') $(rpm -qa | grep kerry) &&
rm -r ~/.beagle

(2) To a lesser degree, you can disable to openSuSE-updater that runs at login.
Not really necessary on 11.0 because it runs much faster than 10.3. If you
disable it, just remember to check for updates manually.
