> 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 ================================================ My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ...the Sin of Ignorance, and ...the Sin of Stupidity.
