Errr.. really? I use KDE4 daily and push it hard, including high end gaming and I've yet to bog it (KDE 4.13) down in any way. I had performance issues with older releases, but not for quite a while now.
One thing I frequently experience is my system becoming unresponsive to mouse and keyboard for a few minutes. That problem the reason I upgraded my motherboard to one with an Intel core i7 CPU, that's 4 cores & hyperthreading. The problem still occurs, though not as severe as my old mom board. When it happens, kswapd0 seems to be the culprit, but Firefox or Seamonkey might be involved. I run top, iotop and the System Monitor, on their own desktop to see what happens. On the new motherboard, System Monitor shows 2 or 3 cores (of 8) pegged at 100%. Incidentally, it may take a couple of minutes to switch to the desktop where I have the monitors running. I did not experience this prior to KDE4. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
