Then my first guess would be that short between the keyboard and chair Fred, as I have setup a customer's machine, 533mhz Celeron, and it's quite nice, even using the built-in graphics! Not something that I would want to use, but adequate just the same and again comparable or better than when it had 8.2 or 9.0 installed.
Congrats......it's rare. I can't tell you how many installs I've....they're ALL slow to varying degrees. My guess is the cause is the 2.6 kernel and AT LEAST some modules if not all.

The 2.6 kernel seems to be getting a bad reputation, root of all ills etc., I've been using from 2.6.0-pre kernels onwards on SuSE 9.0 and now 9.1, it's OK and much faster than 2.4.x for many of the reasons detailed in several articles and it will be the reason why many enterprises switch to Linux. I must see if I can find some benchmarks on google. Whatever the cause, it's not likely to be the kernel unless SuSE did something stupid, if they did, I've not noticed a slowdown.
