My machines are slow. I use both. My previous machine had only 32 MiB of ram, and there KDE was noticiably slower, it swapped way more. That was the main reason I started to use Gnome 10 years ago, even though KDE was more complete and had a better finish in SuSE.
The KDE team has done a lot recently to improve this; a good part through optimization of C++ in the compiler. Now KDE is nimbler in resources than it was, but it still feels a bit heavier, at least on modest machines like mine.
Some other time I'll time KDE and Gnome starting.
Ok. But you can please keep your performance bikeshedding out of this discussion? It is not important here that sometimes KDE performs better and sometimes GNOME (which is actually the fact, not the persisting myth). -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer -------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 972 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
