Well, I have tested it a few times, recently because of the DVD problem |
50 |
with udf, and each time I run that kernel it is slow as syrup on the |
51 |
north pole. Since my updatedb runs in the morning, I'm sure it was not |
52 |
running. I *think* it is something different in how the CPU is done. I |
53 |
show very little hard drive activity when it is logging me into KDE. |
54 |
Same with Seamonkey being slow. |

It is funny that they are predicting severe thunderstorms and wind here |
57 |
today. Guess that just confirms it. LOL |
