First, I use linux quite a bit as servers at home and work, but has yet to stick as my desktop. Every year I try to use Linux to replace windows, right now using synergy and dual monitors to help facility in transitioning, but right now, I can't even really use the systems because a light load (web surfing) sends the system into a crawl. Doing this at work, and at home. Problem exists on 2 systems Work: P4 3.ghz 1gb ram, used both onboard videocard, and pci nvidia. Slow on both, even with turning off desktop effects and following modifications suggested to fix it. 32bit Suse 11.1 HOme: AMD 64 3200+ (32bit suse) and 1gb RAM, nvidia 6200 AGP. This setup runs games like civ4, farcry, perfectly with winxp, but web surfing and such is to much for it. Web surfing brings the system to a crawl! I see Xorg and firefox (or opera) seam to be eating the cpu time. I can't even scroll up down, but the whole system is suffering under this light load. Webpages visited varies from slashdot/*.google.com/craigslist/ksl/ various comic sites/*.yahoo.com/wikipedia I am a heavy user of tabs, but I have the issue with as little as 3 browser and ~10 tabs total. Suse is setup pretty standard/by the book, with little changes like adding webmin/synergy/nvidia drivers.
