they were a few days ago. I think it was either the upgrade to gtk 2.2 or perhaps a metacity upgrade. when I drag around a box, it moves very slow, and xfree86 starts using a large portion of my processor (60 - 70%, metacity at around 10 - 15%, gnome-term (the app I'm moving around) at 10%, xterm (the non-gtk app in the background, using a gtk app like nautilus or freecell seemed to make things worse (around 10% or so)) at around 3%.
gtk apps seem to load much slower too. it seems like if galeon takes too long to load, it'll crash. if I try to start it once, it'll usually crassh and I'll have to try again. the second time it'll usually start, but not necessarily.
Everything's fast for me. I use sawfish. If you switch to sawfish does it help?
