384MB ram seems a bit low.. (nowadays) My old duron 800 has 1GB. I've not noticed PD starting more slowly than it always has on my feisty or etch machines... you can always try oprofile to see what is using up what (CPU wise) .b. Kevin McCoy wrote: > > what distro are you on? > > > Ubu

I use fluxbox WM, no hassle, no fancy bollocks. It's just X with some coloured window bars and a program launcher menu. The MS Windows philosophy seriously subverted peoples expectations and understanding of what an "Operating System" and "Desktop" are. MS Windows and its imitators are not *ope

Yes this is page/cache feature and seen with many apps. If you have a very frequently used app that you want to load fast each time then consider creating a RAM disk. Study Knoppix and Puredyne to see that in action. A start script to load Pd bins into RAM and then set the path to them. Useful fo
