Hi Bill, Apologies if I come across as trolling. I guess I had too high an expectation as to what I expected FBSD to be able to do. I will refrain from doing comparisons with Windows as that seems to just annoy people. As for dmesg, I will run that tonight & post that. I assume I type: dmesg -a > Also, are you saying that you run nedit on both Windows and FreeBSD and it's > faster on Windows? Or are you comparing nedit to an apple? I run Nedit on FBSD & Emeditor on Windows which is much more GUI color intensive & has many more functions than Nedit. Again, EmEditor on Windows loads & runs "much faster" then Nedit on FBSD. As you said, it may be that FBSD has defaulted hardware for my box that is incorrect. > Also, have you monitored various system "stuff"?

If there is any other particular diagnostic programs on FBSD that you want me to run & post the details that may help identify my slow performance please let me know ?? I haven't run top or systat, but I will run them tonight. Kind Regards, DK __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
