I was told that I should keep my computer running all the time (or at least 
that linux was designed/could do that; so yesterday I turned it on and went 
to school for the day.  When I got home the machine was still going (which 
was a good sign) but when I loaded a program it took three times as long. 
(for instance: I loaded kspread <which takes 10 seconds normally> and it took 
like 30)

Any idea as to what the problem is?
