1 Hi
2
3 I have a gentoo installed and it works very well.
4 Without X it start from boot to login in 15 seconds,
5 and it uses about 15 mb of ram.
6 Ok. It's very fast and "cheaper" than Slackware and
7 others......
8
9 Now I have installed gnome ( 2.6.0 ) and it's very
10 strange..........
11 Only with GDM started (before to login) the system
12 uses about 85mb of ram, and (the gdm) start 3-4
13 seconds slower than slackware.........the situation is
14 worrisome......
15
16 I insert the name and password so gnome
17 starts.................and even gnome starts 6-7
18 seconds slower than slackware and the ram used go up
19 to 140mb.
20 Now the situation is disastrous....
21
22 How is it possible ???
23 Why this horrible performance ???
24 Is it a guilt of gnome 2.6 ???
