I've got a basic PC (Dell Dimension 4600 running a P4 at 2.66GHz with 2GB RAM) that switch boots between Windows XP and Ubuntu 8.04. I have a pretty complex app (my stick figure animaton program "Stykz") that loads about 8 libraries has a few front and back scripts and when it opens it displays a main window and 4 floating palettes.
The app is built with the Rev 3.5 engine and when I launch it on Windows, it takes about 5 seconds from initial launch to idle. When I do this on Ubuntu it is agonizingly slow, taking 25-30 seconds to come to an idle state. And after this, everything is like molasses - windows take seconds! to redraw, mouse messages aren't recognized immediately, etc. I haven't done much on Linux except StackRunner, which was very lightweight, but my overall question is: are there any "gotchas" I should know about related to Linux that might account for significantly affecting performance?
