Hello,

I'm running Firefox 0.9.1 on a new installation of RH9 and it's really slow to start up. It takes a minute to load from command line (starting its own X) or from within KDE (usually a minute and a half). Konsole and Command Center are slow-ish, but certainly not anywhere near as slow as this. Firefox 0.9.3 is the same.

It has the latest graphics drivers installed, the hard drive is fast enough, it's not using much swap memory in KDE (and none from command line).

It's a HP Compaq D530U, P4 2.66 so I can't figure out what's going on. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

hi
u need to optimize ur system....
also what is he O/P while using ither browsers
what services have u closed down
check out if u closed these
these are for NFS,close them if u do not require NFS
they ae very heavy(resource consuming)

go to
system settings--->server--->services

close the nfs service s and related services if u do not require these
close pcmcia,that we have generally in laptops

close rhnsd
also to get a good output i have compiled my kernel whch had increased my system performance

regards
gaurav
