KDE is a hog, no doubt. If you want a lighter window manager, try blackbox
or windowmaker. But, still, something doesn't sound right.
Hey, listers, is this one of those CPU-not-running-at-top-speed issues?

So, I successfully installed ydl 3.0 on my beige g3 300 minitower. My
machine specs are like this: g3 300 (factory), 256 ram, 8 gig hd (divided 1
gig for os 9, 7 gig for ydl), ati rage 128 with 16 megs ram.
Everything's cool but i'm noticing that it seems to be pretty slow. Is this
normal? Like, mac-os-x-on-my-machine caliber slow. applications seem to take
too long to load...os 9 is much quicker. seems bogged down.... forget that
tux racer game.
I'm wondering if it's because maybe:
-i did the full install, all 5.5 gigs of ydl onto a 7 gig partition.
-i'm running kde instead of gnome.
-or something else is out of whack.
-or this is just how it is. hopefully, this is not the case. one of the many
reasons why i'm making this switch to linux is because i wanted an o.s. that
wasn't very heavy on top of my system. what i'm seeing isn't thrilling me
very much...
help, anyone? suggestions? ways to run ydl much lighter on my system?
thanks
