    I don't know how much effect it can have,
    I don't know how many times it has been commented,
    I don't know what can I do for an improvement,
    But I know...
    Working with a computer is not enjoyable when it responds slow!

    Also note:
    - I am shouting not because I hate linux, but because I hate negligences hurled at it so far!
    - I know many people will suggest me to have a fast xxxx MHz CPU: No, I suggest programmers to test their programs on an xxx MHz CPU to see what they have created!

    These are my computer specifications (I am not kidding):

    Ultra high speed CPU: AMD K6-2+ at 550 MHz,
    Extra high end GPU: nVIDIA RivaTNT 16MB PCI,
    Super high speed SDRAM: 512MB PC133,
    Seagate 120GB 7200rpm + Western Digital 120GB 8MB buffer
    Windows98-SE + WindowsXP-SP1a + RedHat-Linux-9.0 + Suse-Linux-9.1

    (Already, I am using Mozilla browser 1.7.3 on Linux)

    Other system properties:

    Professional sound: Creative SB16 ISA,
    High bandwidth modem: Rockwell 33.6 ISA,
    High quality big monitor: 14" color monitor

    Have fun!
