Good Morning, I believe I've cracked it (mostly) The complete loss of opengl capability was due to either compiling on a different version of opensuse (as part of tests), or due to configuration options that were commented out, actually being performed. i.e. as part of my experimentations I would add / comment out various configure lines with various argument, and I noticed that the # on the front of the line was not enough to get them ignored :/ back to the speed issue, by checking ldd on the fast and the slow system, the only difference was the inclusion of gnutls. On my old faster system it appears I hadn't used tls encryption, whereas on the new system I had done so. It looked like a likely candidate for introducing delays (most notable was that when dragging a window, it would move 0.2 seconds later or so), which does make sense if all the data has to be encrypted / decrypted. So after removing the said devel package and recompiling everything from scratch, I immediately got a speed boost ! Menus, the shelf, dragging windows etc are smooth now, rather than chunky. However an opengl application that I run to test was still not smooth (as compared to silky smooth on older system). I need to look into that more tho as it may be related to something else entirely. I will report back when I have something new. Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cloud Computing - Latest Buzzword or a Glimpse of the Future?
