Hmm...P133,128MB (my work pc!) it took 55 seconds to load :-( Good excuse for
the boss to buy me something faster :-)
At home, a P200,96MB loaded quite quickly (very vague!), and the Duron
700/128MB takes only a few seconds of course :-)
I guess it depends however on what else the system is doing. If it
really is bad, then running 'top' should show what else is going on. On mine
I am now running KDE2 and it seems to have slowed things down a bit (probably
takes more memory). Having said that I guess on a faster machine the 'slow
down' would be less noticable.
