    Hello Chadley:

    I alsohave the problem "suse 9.1 is very much slower than any other distro I
    have ever installed". My sound also hacks, and even sometimes my mouse
    doesn't mouve smooth, and programs reponses get slow. That happened also
    wrtting a cd (when starting and finishing mostly), or executting a kde app
    when using gnome, or when launching some yast sub-app (sax2 for example,
    which is in Hardware > Graphic card & Monitor), launching YOU, etc...

    One strange thing is for example that when I execute updatedb (and sound hacks
    etc), I can see top reporting low cpu usage (around 15%) but in Kde System
    Guard and Gnome System Monitor it goes to 100%! And that missmatch also
    happens while exectuing the other mentioned tasks.

    I have 256 Mb of Ram and a AMD Athlon XP 2000+ CPU; not as much ram as you,
    but certenly enough for those things being happening (and as you said, those
    things did never happen to me in Fedora, Mandrake or Gentoo). Note that the
    most strage thing to me was is when the mouse mouvement is not smooth because
    that did never happen to me in this pc with any other distro. It also is not
    smooth when logging out kde.

    Are things I related happenning to you? Have you got also a Athlon XP? Which
    are the differences between your problem and mine ?

    Thanks for your time,
          Edulix.
