The only thing I can suggest is see what was upgraded at the time when kde started running slow (you should be able to tell from emerge.log). Also look at your USE flags, CFLAGS, etc (in /var/db/pkg/...). A while back, I upgraded from 1.2 to 1.4, which includes upgrading gcc from 2.95 to 3.x. For a while, I put up with very slow kde and apps (mozilla was utterly unusable, though phoenix-bin was fine). Eventually, I decided the upgrade was to blame, borrowed a hard drive, and installed Gentoo 1.4 fresh in a chroot. KDE zooms now. I had also tried 'emerge -e' along with various combinations of recompiling gcc and glibc, but nothing less than the fresh install worked. -- Marshal Newrock, Simon's Rock College of Bard Caution: product may be hot after heating -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
