I've noticed too that Evolution doesn't seem to be the fastest program out there. Probably still a matter of maturity. In tests, it downloaded and moved mail slower than Mozilla, for instance. Though I liked the program better. So I don't think it is Linux thats to blame.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Anders Thoresson Sent: Sunday, August 11, 2002 7:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: newbie question: how to speed up linux I've just taken my first stumbling steps down on the Linux road, installing Redhat 7.3. Many things have impressed me so far, but the over all speed of my system is a big dissappointment. Compared to when I run Windows 95 and Windows 2000 on the same computer, almost everything seems to take for ever. Clicking "New Message" in Evolution until the new message turns up takes a couple of seconds. Starting OpenOffice 1.0 Writer somewhere between 30 seconds and a minute. Recieving 500 mails or so from my ISP somewhere between 15 och 30 minutes. My computer is a PII-233, ATI Mach64 3D Rage IIC for video, 192 MB RAM and 2 ATA33 hard drives. What's the bottleneck? Could anything besides plugging in more RAM be done to boost the performance?
