Greetings all,
I upgraded one of my 8.2 boxes to 9.1, and expected to find 9.1 a bit faster than the older version. So far that ain't happening. I did the upgrade, not fresh install. I had to clear out some older programs to eliminate dependencies, but other than that all seem to go fine. ...
I have not yet loaded 9.1 on my system (a 750 MHz PIII with 544 MB RAM). However, I found KDE on 9.0 to be significantly slower that on 8.2. I have a multi-boot system and have both 8.2 and 9.0 loaded, so can quickly compare them and, e.g., 8.2 is 3-4 times faster in starting up konsoles (and even opening up sub-shells in konsoles!) than 9.0. Anyone have any comparisons between 9.0 and 9.1? Was the slowness introduced in 9.0 and then carried over into 9.1, or is 9.1 faster or slower than 9.0? 8.2 to 9.0 definitely brought a huge hit. BTW, I am using the exact same KDE setup for both 8.2 and 9.0. Also, I did full installs of each version. Additionally, I've kept 9.0 updated via YOU to the latest security & recommended updates.
