Hi,
I am trying openSUSE 13.2 RC1, there are lots of problems with the
performance, I think this is because the live USB is being mounted r/w
for persistence, but it gives a horrible first time experience, please
make the default read-only (like a DVD) and you can add an option to
boot with persistence.
Performance Problems:
1) Boot time is very very long, more than 5 minutes, I was booting to
install to a friend, and before the desktop he wanted to try another
distro because this is very slow, I told him this is only the live
DVD, but he still this is terrible (me too).
(I got a message "Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting
information" for more than two minutes).
Subsequent boots from the usb drive are very slow too, not only the first time.
2) After the boot, everything is very slow and laggy, especially
things related to disks, like opening dolphin!!
sometimes everything freezes for seconds then back to (laggy) normal.
I suggest making an option to boot without persistence, this is very
important, even if we need to postpone the release until its ready.
I also suggest making (read-only) the default, and putting the word
(slow) with the persistence option so the user knows that this is not
the usual speed.
Regards
Mustafa Muhammad
