I managed to get some permissions messed up on powersaved so that it wasn't
running and that slowed my system. Not sure what or how i did that but it
took awhile to figure it out

Gnome and XFcce4 and Icewm and others behaved well for me too. Providing the
following information for the record not to insult your abilities or anything
like that.
http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/10/pohletz_desktop_90.html explains how to
change that the "desktop" boot paramter.
http://portal.suse.de/sdb/en/2003/10/90_scheduling.html explains why they are
doing it and the last paragraph explains the "desktop" boot parameter time
slicing. This also explains why uptime gets reset every 47+ days I think it
is instead of the 470+ days it used to be.

Can't think of anything else right now. Unless its something like locate or
fam churning away in the background. My performance issues seemed to be
isolated to KDE also. YMMV of course and my issues may not be yours! Keep us
updated on what you find though.
