Well, xosview tells me the load average, and the system is horribly slow, and this is boot, so I'm swearing at it ...
Bear in mind I'm running 64-bit SUSE in 3gig of RAM, could that be some of it? Unfortunately, it's a tosh, so when I tried to upgrade it with a 4gig stick (making it 4+2) the new ram promptly caused it to refuse to boot - well, it booted to console in gentoo, but both SUSE and Windows bombed :-(
And seeing as I'd already returned the ram twice, I didn't feel like returning it a 3rd time - so I've got a 4GB DDR3L SODIMM that's probably perfectly okay, just that my tosh doesn't like it (toshes apparently are *extremely* sensitive to what ram they do or don't like).
Try replacing the HD with an SSD. I did. System is much faster, mostly due to swap speed (seek times, my educated guess). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
