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

Same story. It would better to use read-only flash and tmpfs to save changes. I have 7 GB of physical memory, I use USB (not CD) but live works very slowly. -- Best regards, Dmitriy DA(P).DarkneSS Perlow @ Linux x64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I agree with Roger. Persistence is a specialty need that should not exist on the live images. Greg -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.

This is a reported bug http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=897698

Thanks, it is not just this bug, this takes 2-3 minutes, this is about the whole laggy r/w system that is not needed in a live environment, we need to boot into a read-only environment, where are you devs?
