I too found 8.1 rather slow, but not at all unstable. Previous posts on this list indicate that the speed problem may lie with the kernel. Upgrading your kernel might help, but since Mdk 8.2 will be out soon, it's probably better to wait for that. Robin -- "Never mind the quality, feel the bandwidth."
