> I wonder what could be done to speed Linux/X up?

Mike, I've been on this rant for a LONG time! :) Runlevel 4 just sits
there. Why not have X and X only running, with no server or network
features at all. Zip, Nada, nothing in the way of deamons. Compose
office stuff or code, play video games, Dvd movies, anything local
requiring more speed. When you need the network, or to run server
stuff, runlevel 5 time. Would that provide any significant gain in X
responsivness? Anyone care to guess? I dnloaded an app called
alsakiller or something to that effect, ALSA eats up about 3% of the
CPU share, I think I'd kill that off and just run OSS in runlevel 4,
for the games and video. whatchothink, Ric
