I have to second that. 9.3 is considerably faster for me on my laptop as well, one think to try is to disable acpi at boot time, the powersaving stuff turned on by default can really slow the machine down, because it's turning my 1.8GHz machine into a 200MHz one.
Just edit /etc/sysconfig/powersave or do not start the powersave daemon at all. But the powersave daemon should turn up the speed if it's needed - so it should be 200 Mhz while the cpu is bored and 1.8 Ghz if you give it a big job to do, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
