Does anyone but me find that KDE2 is dog slow compared to KDE1. I realise it does a lot more stuff behind the scenes, which is why I use it, but it takes an age (ok a few seconds) to open any windows after I launch an app.
With any luck, it's a configuration issue, but I haven't been able to figure out what's not properly configured. Anybody else been here?
Has anyone else considered setting up their own machine to try out some different benchmarks? Admittedly, fileserving and webserving are the two main apps you want a server to perform, but what's the reason we all use Linux at home and NT at work?
Surely there are some more real world comparisons we can make to push the point that Linux is a more usable, sturdy and fun platform to work with.
The web is a great leveller, so why don't we start putting up our own "official" (!) pages detailing where linux beats NT hands down. Then we can really put the willies up MS.
