My experiences echo that of others on this list who have already posted. On new systems, with beagle turned on, response time becomes erratic or simply slow. These are very noticeable and become quickly annoying to me. Not really needing Bob - or beagle - or whatever the name is, I simply euthanize it. (Sorry, it is difficult not to poke fun at beagle.) As a rule, I turn beagle off immediately after install. (I have not done a 10.2 install yet, because without beagle and zmd running, 10.1 is perfectly stable for me and family.) I noticed that a few others mentioned the possibility of zmd being part of the cause. That may be - I tend to remove zmd as soon as possible as well after install, because I find it slow and tedious as well. So, basically, a system not running beagle or bob runs faster and is more responsive overall than one running beagle. I've found this on four separate systems, all fairly modern systems with at least 1G RAM and either Athlon or Pentium 4 processors.
