I amazingly find that ffx running in wine under linux is a lot faster than the native linux one running in KDE, compiled from source for xeon. firefox has always been slower in KDE than windows, and i'm sure i read the reason once, alsthough i can't remember what it was or where for the life of me. openoffice is also the same - so much slower in KDE than win xp. ~ theo -- http://crazygreek.co.uk/ theo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
