But as soon as I click on the KMail icon, I can do nothing else until KMail is open (which takes about 5 seconds on my setup). I have this problem both at home (AthlonXP 2ghz, 384mb ram, Gigabyte board with VIA chipset) and at work (either an P-III 1ghz, 384mb ram, Gigabyte board with Intel chipset, or a P4 2.4ghz, 512mb ram, Intel board). In all three cases DMA is working just peachy. OS is SUSE 9.1 Pro with all YOU patches applied and nothing else upgraded/changed except gaim from ULB and MPlayer added.

Hans: Another data point... I have a much less capable machine than yours and my Kmail loads in 3 seconds and the destop is still responsive while it loads, as I can click other icons and switch desktops before Kmail finishes loading. Mine is only a 1.2ghz Celeron. One difference is I have 512meg memory whereas two out of your 3 machines have 384. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
