Hi,
I'm currently running SuSE 6.0 with kernel 2.2.5 on an AMD K6-2 333
with 128MB ram. I use Xi-Graphics CDE (which uses a fair amount of
resources). I've never experienced a jumpyness as you explain with SuSE
even with Mathematica, Netscape, StarOffice, a few dtterms, etc. all going
at once. I've been doing some data crunching over the past few days and
was expecting to see some sort of performance drag but have noticed
nothing (of course it takes longer for things to complete with several
things going at once but there is no visible drag or jumpyness). I can't
think of any reason why RH should slow down using the
apps you mention. I have noticed an appreciable increase in performance
with the new kernel so you may want to give that a shot first.
Hope this helps,
Mike
