[GLLUG] Really poor SuSE 9 performance

[Gary Holbrook]

I'm running SuSE 9 pro on a 500Mhz toshiba laptop, ACPI is disabled, 192MB
RAM.  DMA is enabled on hard drive.

KDE and Gnome are both painfully slow.  With only two konsole windows open, it
takes about a second to switch between the windows.  I have disabled every
service that I possibly can.  One thing that I notice is that even in console
mode, YAST takes forever to load the package management database.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Gary
