I am not aware of any way to run kde with a higher priority, what I would suggest would be that you choose a desktop which puts less of a strain on the system. Both KDE and GNOME are system intensive window managers. Something like XFCE, TWM, TVWM, BLACKBOX, the list goes on of window managers which take less resources and run faster. These will not give you everything the KDE or GNOME gives, and it will take some work. If this in not what you are willing to do then you will have to live with KDE or GNOME being slow.

I have made a decision and am sticking with it. I also was going to use it for Xine and such to
increase music playback preformance. If anyone knows of such a way to do this, please reply.
I guess the main reason I am persuing this, is because identical versions of KDE (one with
Gentoo / one with Slackware) performed differently, under the same circumstances. I was thinking
that maybe it had something to do with the other distro, in case the guys at Slackware rigged it
like that.....?
Anyways, please help if you can. Ian
