This is what I'm talking about - on my 1Ghz processor, my 7200 rpm hard
drive, and everything else, netscape takes over 7 seconds to load - and I
just loaded it previously about 20 minutes ago. Konqueror takes about 4-5
seconds. I don't think this is acceptable performance - in fact, I think it's
pretty darn slow. Call me crazy, tell me where my bottlenecks might be, but
this to me is too slow.
P.S. As per Kurt's suggestion, if I could figure out how to get KDE to work
w/ VNC I'd be more than happy to try it out.
