I' m working on a PC I don't own, with few ram and a home-dir thats on nfs. The nfs server has very poor performance, and sometimes stops responding for seconds. The thing is: evertime one wants to change windows or do something else, it touches the nfs-share and stops responding. It got worse, so i even switched back to one of the bad WMs which -because they are only one program- stay in memory and stay responsive. I know, that this is one withdraw of the (good) design, and there is not much to improve this (the only idea i had was to write some program which stays in memory and do all the tasks the shell-scripts would do - but thats ugly). > PS: Yes, and reinventing wheels is bad.
