Re: Speed? And a (good) suggestion for themes

If you have a VERY fast machine then something is VERY wrong. I only have a Celeron with a slow harddrive, and no single KDE application that I use takes as much as 5-6 seconds to load.
You might try FreeBSD too, I heard they get some good performance.

I think so

Supposedly there is a "speed hack" in CVS (which would be into this alpha release, I think). I'm not sure, but they were talking about it a few weeks back after the article about "An Analysis of KDE Speed".

I do have a Compaq Armada 1750 with a PII running at 300MHz. My experience is more or less the same. It only takes 4 - 5 seconds to load aplications here... ;-) And oh yes, I'm running the Alpha2 on RH7.1.

The applications are slow to load because you enabled anti aliasing. Current releases of Xfree do not cache anti aliased font information and it has to be re-processed each time you start an anti aliased application, hence the slowness.
Wait for XFree 4.1 or turn off anti aliasing.
On my system (p2 400, 256Mb Ram), XFree 4.03 + kde 2.2 alpha 1 with all eye candy turned on, I have to wait 45s between the moment I type startx and the moment the desktop becomes usable :/ (only 6 seconds with blackbox)

If you have ~64MB of RAM you should consider
upgrading to at least 128MB. I've experienced
a major speed improvement from that, with 64MB
my machine starts swapping way too often (when
I run KDE, that is).

If you want nothing but speed, don't use a DE

I find it KDE to be very fast on my 300 PII, but then again I'm used to Windose.
Really, if don't care for bells and whistles boot up one of the windows managers.

Here are my Konqueror loading times
by Rimmer on Tuesday 05/Jun/2001, @19:24

This first time I open konqueror it can take ~5 seconds to load. This is on a Thunderbird 1100 with 128 MB RAM.
Opening konqueror after the first time is significantly faster (normally around 2 seconds). However even this FEELS much slower then opening a window in Win98 (which seems to happen instantly after the first time). Once konqueror is loaded it seems fairly responsive.
I'm running RedHat 7.1 with a new kernel (2.4.4). I've turned off a lot of daemons (cron, at, sendmail, gdm, ect) to speed boot time. DMA transfers are enabled (I get close to 30 MB/s transfer rate).
Maybe there should be an option to keep parts of konqueror loaded in memory (for people with lots of RAM)?
Rimmer
PS - Would compiling the KDE stuff affect speed significantly?
