Further speed tests. I actually ran essentially (some of) the same tests, only this time on my 486 DX2 66 with 20MB RAM (30 pin SIMMs). The partition on which I did the tests has Vectorlinux 2.0 on it, which comes with the 2.4.5 kernel. I replaced that kernel with the 2.2.16 kernel that is on my Slack71 partition on the same machine. I realize I should be conducting these tests on the Slack71 partition, but that partition remains unbootable since, for some reason, the integrity check hangs at 70.3% and will proceed no further. I can't take time to troubleshoot that problem right now, and I'm not even sure where to start. I've never seen such a thing in my short but intense Linux comuting career.
Test results: Test 1: open the program, with only naim open in the background, as well as an xterm connected to the ISP. Abiword takes 60 seconds to fully load on this machine. Ted takes 20 seconds to fully load. Test 2: with the program loaded, open a short (2 pg, single-spaced) rtf with pretty standard formatting (some centering, an italicized word, underlined phrase, document fully justified). Abiword takes 65 seconds to open the document. Ted takes 42 seconds. Hopefully I'll be able to do some more testing tomorrow, and wil post results.
