PC Acer TravelMate 2300, Celeron 1.5 GHz, upgraded to 2 Gb RAM. I
tested my app (AALite sqlite database browser) on a few distributions
and found that it is completely usable on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex
(Gnome), but starts and then crashes Puppy; starts, works but finally
crashes on Slax (KDE), both are Slackware based. Did not notice any
large speed loss on Ubuntu or any other Linux distribution though... All
these tests were done with operating systems loaded completely into RAM
from liveCDs. I also removed all the options that I do not need at the
moment when compiling (no printing, no fonts, no table) Going to do more
testing on other Linux distros...
As far as I remember previously applications compiled with RR 2.6 used
to work on Puppy without any problems.

I've got a basic PC (Dell Dimension 4600 running a P4 at 2.66GHz with 2GB
RAM) that switch boots between Windows XP and Ubuntu 8.04. I have a pretty
complex app (my stick figure animaton program "Stykz") that loads about 8
libraries has a few front and back scripts and when it opens it displays a
main window and 4 floating palettes.
The app is built with the Rev 3.5 engine and when I launch it on Windows, it
takes about 5 seconds from initial launch to idle. When I do this on Ubuntu
it is agonizingly slow, taking 25-30 seconds to come to an idle state. And
after this, everything is like molasses - windows take seconds! to redraw,
mouse messages aren't recognized immediately, etc.
I haven't done much on Linux except StackRunner, which was very lightweight,
but my overall question is: are there any "gotchas" I should know about
related to Linux that might account for significantly affecting performance?
TIA,
