Maybe this is why SuSE doesn't seem to get what we're screaming about? They're all connected closely to their local repo, so they're not seeing what we are and are assuming that the slowness you're talking about.
Yes, developers should always be on dial up and have nothing faster than an 800mhz processor and a 1024x768 display. Then systems would perform.
Not *always*, but if you're developing a software management system that is designed to be used worldwide on slow connections, shouldn't you, you know, actually try it out on a slow connection to see if it works OK? I know you're trying to make a point about bloat and waste, but honestly, I like my machine to look nice. Everything would be faster if it was written in assembly, but it would take forever to get anything actually programmed and you can forget portability.
