preload stuff on suse 10 + performance
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I have just installed suse 10, and notice this when I reboot my computer Laying out /etc/preload.d/kde Laying out /etc/preload.d/later Laying out /etc/preload.d/... This takes very much time on my computer, at least 2 min, and I wonder what this is and how/if I can turn it off? My computer is also remarkably slower with suse 10 vs suse 9.3. I wonder why, and if I can do something to increase performance? Seems like it is something with redrawing of screen/windows which is slower for some reason...It is also slower to start an application and compile stuff. Thanks, - -- Rohnny -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDSHMwJQxWxLw8G9QRArPEAJ4uajMjY3f+hBJtOOYCwMnKAh4tbwCeJZ7N 10rzt4UT1626aODpbxOxty8= =xIol -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

IMHO this should be done in Suseconfig to avoid scaring users if their system takes minutes to shutdown. Doing it this way should also reduce

Thanks for your reply Nordi. I did that and it helped. Also, it seems like my problem with low performance was due to the acpi component not working very well. Setting acpi=off at boot prompt fixed my performance problem. I am not sure if this is a known issue.
