Hi,

I followed the discussion and want to throw in some information from my box. 
I don't use NFS at all (though I have a network connected, but only for mail 
or HTTP). I can see the slow downs here as well. They are not so dramatic as 
someone described before, but you definitely realize them (about half a 
second to render a menu).

These slow downs only occur when the editor view is selected. With the help 
browser selected there is no slow down at all. I tried to find out which 
parts are affected by slow downs. When I start kdevelop on desktop 1 then 
switch to desktop 2 and then back to 1, all toolbars, the menu bar and the 
status bar are visible immediately, the rest will be displayed about one 
second later. Again only when the editor is visible.

I also found out that the slow downs do not always happen. They only seem to 
happen when main memory is full and memory is swapped out. Is it possible 
that some parts of the KWrite widget get swapped out and causes delays at the 
refresh? But repeated desktop switching should be fast after the first 
refresh is done, shouldn't it?

I don't see this behaviour whith KWrite itself.

My box is a PII 400 128MB, KDE 2.1.0, KDevelop 1.4, SuSE Linux 7.1

Bye, Marcus
