I noticed the same thing with a PII 266 & 96Mb. After some half hearted
investigating I noted that there seemed to be a lot of services turned on by
default in 7.2. If you surf around on Mandrake User (www.mandrakeuser.org)
you will find a description of all the daemons and can choose those you don't
need. Instructions for temporarily or permanently turning of specific
daemons are provided. I found that turning of httpd made a huge difference.
(I don't use this machine as a web server.)
Good luck.
Paul
