Colin,
Just a comment on Marks' reply about CPU cycles.
I think he'd looking/pointing in the right direction.
I have a continuing problem on one of my machines with the same type of
behaviour.
It's an AMD K6-2/500 running basically stock 7.1 and KDE 1.99 (I think)
BUT and this is the important bit - there's only 32Mb of ram and it's
slow ram to boot.
My other beast is a Pentium 133 with 64Mb and side by side the Pentium
is considerably faster than the AMD for many things, StarOffice 5.2
takes just under 6 minutes to become useable on the AMD compared with a
little over 2 minutes on the Pentium.
I guess the only comment is something like --- Go Figure !!
Only our selected Diety knows what's going to happen when I upgrade the
AMD to 7.2 or even 8.0
Cheers
John
