Funny you should mention this today. I ended up switching to KDE because of this, and today (for the first time in ages) I used a gnome application (bittorrent) from within KDE, within 5 minutes one of the cores on my CPU was maxed out at 100% usage!
When I originally logged this on bugzilla I was completely underwhelmed by the response. I think the problem lies with which file modification manager gnome uses: "fam" or "gam". Not certain, but I think the way they (eventually) suggested fixing it was to delete gam and install fam. I guess this should be fixed in SuSE 10.1, but I haven't been "brave" enough to try it yet......
Hmm... Interesting. I am running GNOME with SuSE 10.0 and 10.1 on several machines and I have had no performance issues. The hardware range from a PIV 1.8 GHz to an AMD x86_64 2.4 GHz. No runaway processes, CPUs idling away. I wonder what the difference in installations can be. -- Andre Truter | Software Consultant | Registered Linux user #185282 Jabber: andre_tux@jabberafrica.org | http://www.trusoft.co.za ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~ -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
