I haven't experienced this myself, but I can offer some possible troubleshooting tips :)
See if it happens in xterm as well. If so, it might have something to do with your bashrc or bash_profile (if you're using bash, that is, others have different preference files) If it doesn't slow down in xterm, try konsole to double check that it's something up with gnome-terminal and/or launch gnome-terminal from xterm, there may be some error statements being flushed to STDIN that may help diagnose it... -Chris On 2011-11-17, at 6:02 AM, Yi Ding wrote: > Hi everyone, > > First time scientific linux user.
