Hello,
I am running Mandrake 7.2 on a dual P166, tyan tomcat system with
64 Mb RAM, currently everything is fine because I am running
a "plain" 2.2.18 kernel, ie without any sort of patches.
Prior to compiling this kernel, I was using the default
kernel that comes with 7.2 (mdk-secure) and the system
under X was unbelievably slow. (not so much slow as delayed...
it took something like 30-40 seconds for any sort of action to start,
like starting an xterm or something). After getting the newest
stable kernel and recompiling everything seems normal like
before on 7.1...
I was just wondering if anyone is able to point me to the
source of this bottleneck.
I have 7.2 also on a PPro200 with 96Mb RAM and have not
touched the default kernel in any way, and I havent noticed
the system to be slow at all.
Regards,
Sadin Nurkic
