2. Knoppix feels faster simply because of the fact it's running from a ram disk when started. Try loading something from the cd that's not loaded into ram and tell us what times you get. I suspect you'll find load times to be different from a cd.

Repeating the launch of the same application should equal the conditions, since with plenty of RAM everything should be cached. This is how I did my timings. BTW I have been using Suse since 6.1 and this KDE performance drop came from 8.1 to 9.1 If what you say is true, it means KDE can't be used on a somewhat older (400 MHz) PC. The delay is really annoying. Next week I'll try a Mandrake install just to check.
