Why are my Win XP so much quicker then my 12.1. The CPU goes to 100% when I starts some thing. I have the same problem with KDE and Icewm. In Win XP,there are no delay, I start a program and it start. In Opensuse, it take nearly 1 min. with no response, everything seems to have died. Any clues?? Gunnar
I have no idea as to the cause/fix, but I have the same experience. My home computer, which ran 11.0 very well, has become a pig with 12. 1 & KDE 4. I have to reboot every week or so to restore performance, but even then, it's nowhere near what I had with 11.0. This is on a 64 bit AMD Athlon 64 4000+ & 3 GB of memory. I don't have Windows on this computer, so I can't compare with it.
The 64-bit version of openSUSE 12.1 + GNOME ran beautifully on my 2 GHz Intel Core2Duo 5800 system w/ 4GB memory. I restored the 11.4 + GNOME 2 installation for day to day work due to the changes in GNOME, not performance. And I have not seen many instances of this specific complaint here on the list. Have either of you studied the logs for warnings, errors or other anomalies? Have you 'Googled' "openSUSE 12.1" plus the make and model numbers of your computers or motherboards? Just to see if anyone has already discussed your specific problem on the 'net? It's impossible to start asking the right questions, much less make any recommendations, without some base level of understanding of your hardware and without any clues from the logs. regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
