RE: [newbie] Making KDE run faster

[Irsan S. P. Siregar]

Hi Kevin,

I tried running free -m, and had this result (without KDE):

             total    used    free    shared    buffers    cached
Mem:            30      13      16         6         1         9
-/+ buffers/cache:       3      26                               
Swap:          125       0     125

and with KDE:

             total    used    free    shared   buffers   cached
Mem:            30      29       0        31         0       12
-/+ buffers/cache:      16      13
Swap:          125       0     125

Although I didn't know why it report 30 instead of 32, I do get
the picture why it's so slow. BTW, thanks for the command tips.
