The issue of zmd completely throttling your whole machine every time you boot/login/check for updates has not been fixed.
Who is "your" and "you"? Clearly this is not *everybody's* experience. The effects seem to range from serious to only mildly annoying and are different from system to system. No one says it isn't buggy, but to infer it is "throttling" everybody's machine is just plain wrong.
I've seen it reported here many times. I've installed it on three different machines which all exhibited the same behavior... In fact, I haven't seen anyone mentioned that it _doesn't_ throttle their machine every time they login to a KDE session with zen-updater running.
The _only_ people that don't seem to be having the issue are those that leave their machines on 24/7 already logged in. For them, the wrenching update process is done in the dead of night. For everyone else, it's at login. And if you login and logout, it happens again. Joy.
And from the way the developers have posted here and elsewhere, it sounds much more like "We hope to make the next release faster", not "We'll have something next week."
Sorry, I excelled in reading comprehension at school and I've got a
I boot my system up daily. I have not removed any of the Zen, rug, etc. packages. I notice no impact whatsoever on my response time after startup/log in. Admittedly, my installation is pretty basic, so maybe it's a case of what software you happen to have installed(?). formidable
vocabulary if you provoke it enough. I didn't interpret AJ's posts that way and I suggest you read them again.
I'm sure your schoolteachers are happy with you, but I've seen no hurry in developer postings about this. I read the thread on the opensuse-factory and opensuse.org pages. As I recall, the speed is talked about as a "usability issue" that is "complex" and to be addressed "in the future". It smells like sometime in the next version, not next week.
I recommend the removal of zen/rug. Use yum or apt, and put one of them in a daily cron to check for updates and send you an e-mail if any are found.
You really ought to tack at least *one* disclamer/caveat: YMMV maybe?
Why? I've had enough of this and I refuse to mince words to satisfy egoes. Frankly, all I care about is having a good and robust system. rug/zen does not provide this, nor has anyone given a compelling concrete reason why it was forced into 10.1 given it's horrid performance. It does one thing better, but breaks others and is dead last in performance.
