plasma on thinclients / poor performance

[Martin Vogt]

Hello list,

I'm currently testing plasma/KDE 4.1.2 (SUSE 11.1 beta2) on some
thinclients.

The thinclients are not that old,
but usually do not support GLX/OpenGL.


Basically, what I see, is:

-A _poor_ performance of KDE 4.1.2 on thinclients.

Example1:

-Dragging the "transparent desktop Folder" (the one with
the Icons in it) ==> not very responsive/interactive.


Example2:

-System Settings->Desktop->Click on multiple desktops->21..22..23
 Dialog opens.(2-3 seconds)
-System Settings->Click window behavior 21,22,23 dialog opens
-Click tab "tilebar actions" 21,22,23 dialog opens.
etc...

Does plasma/KDE 4.X gets some testing on thinclients?

(The overall performance on a normal desktop is fine, btw)

The remote hosts was a 2GB 2core system, with load around 0.3%.
The thinclients do handle KDE 3.5.x very well.

regards,

Martin
