--itqfrb9Qq3wY07cp Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have been having performance problems with my computer for months, ever since I did a fresh install of freebsd 5.2.1. I thought the situation might change after debugging was turned off in RELENG_5 so I upgraded a couple weeks ago to 5.3-BETA7, but only saw slight improvements. I'm running Xorg, fvwm 2.4, several xterms, vncviewer, mozilla, xmms, and xine and my system was really running slow. At some point mozilla was killed because the system was out of swap space. I have a pentium celeron 3 600 MHz, with 128 megs of ram, 30 gig hd, 256 meg swap. Is my system just under spec for freebsd 5.x or is something else wrong? I didn't really think this should push a system like this that hard. I might try running linux on it in a similar configuration to compare and maybe think about some more ram if it also has problems. --=20 I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside. Powerful Unix is.
