[gentoo-user] sluggish system

[Andrew Gaffney]

My main Gentoo box has a 1.3Ghz Athlon. 768Mb SDRAM, and a 80Gb HD. I almost always have X 
running, and when X is running, so is Mozilla with typically 5 browser windows and a mail 
window. After a few days like this, the system starts getting sluggish. Mozilla gets 
especially sluggish. When I say sluggish, I mean it takes 10-15 seconds to paint the 
window. If I restart Mozilla, it speeds up almost back to normal, but still a bit 
sluggish. If I completely restart X, Mozilla is good as new. Does anyone else experience 
this, or atleast know why its acting like this?
