Well, that's certainly not true for all hardware. I've got a 300MHz PII laptop that ran fairly well with 8.2. Its performance under 9.0 was, to say the least, abysmal. I was beginning to think it had finally reached the end of its usefullness as my desktop for work, unless I wanted to stick with 8.2. Then I installed 9.1 on it and, boy howdee, it runs great again. In fact, it feels faster than 8.2.
Same here with my P-II 333 64M laptop, admittedly I could do with more memory as it's a tad slow in waking up from sleep.
Some have great success and some don't....it's one of the reasons I think it has something to do with the 2.6 kernel and some or all of the modules.
If so, then it must be something that SuSE did to it. I've been running the 2.6.x kernels on 9.0 and now 9.1 (vanilla from kernel.org) and have had no problems whatever.
I would like to see the output of top as that would show what's soaking up resources, something definitely is and killing it if possible speeds things up. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer ===== LINUX ONLY USED HERE =====
