makes me wonder what services you are running also. does this ONLY happen
when connected to the internet? and what sort of connection do you have?
(cable? 33.6 dial-in? 56K dial-in?) do you have routed or named running?
are you on a local network? proxy service?

Hey, there is one more thing you could check. Something like this used to
happen to me when i ran firestarter on KDE startup...
when the machine starts getting slow, run KPM, i'm pretty sure you will find
one single process taking 98% of the CPU cycles. ( in my case it was a

Sure. Never use KDE or GNome.
If you ask me, which you didn't, but I'm going to tell you anyway, (lol)
KDE and Gnome were written for converted Windows users, with the Windows
philosphy in mind.
They are intensely bloated system hogs. So much so that it bogs a system
down when you're not
I forgot to add. Don`t open multiple konquror windows. It will just take
more memory.

have these people not taken the kernel upgrade advice (at least to
2.4.17-7mdk) to fix virtual memory? are they running every service they
can? what?

for me the newer kernel cut start time of apps in half. naturally YMMV.
http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/install/index.html#ku may help.
since some of the kernels are a work in progress, be sure to keep your old
kernel and simply add a new boot choice, and maybe try more than one. one

If you must use kde or gnome as your window manager, get more ram. It`s
reletively cheap now.
I`ve run xwindows and windowmaker and netscape on a 486sx25MHz before with
64MB ram.
If you type top you`ll see what ram you are using and how much swap.
swap is the h/d and is slow.
