Even opening terminals in RH8.0 and the "ls" > command is noticably slower than 7.1. slower or taking more memory is not going to decrease stability. remember, stability is different from all this. my OS can run a little slowerm, but if it can run for 365 days/24hrs without any memory leaks and without needing a reboot, i guess, its a very stable OS.
on the other hand, if it runs like a ferrai but often crashes and reboots, then i guess, its very unstable. > I have the same softwares loaded at both ends, as well as the same > window manager etc. In fact, 7.1 on a P II seems to faster that 8.0 on a > P III. with advancement in versions, newer stuff is added on to existing software. after all what is a major version increment? of course patches are introduced but also new features are clubbed on. so its obvious that the existing software will have more overheads. > Any pointers/URLs for optimizing would be welcomed by this old newbie. Well, i cant really find any URL's , but what i can say is that you read "whats new" with each release of RH. thats the best that comes to my mind.
