hi,
i recently switched from mandrake to freebsd. i used a second system, 
to install freebsd 5.1 (release) on a 15 gb western digital disk. i
installed the whole system without problems and managed to start gdm and
gnome2. everything worked fine and performance (launching gdm, gnome2
and firebird) was really good (better then mdk :)

then i moved the disk from the hardware used during install into the
"production" environment which includes VIA 82C8363 (Apollo KT133A)
board, NVidia GeForce2 grafic card (using nvidia native driver for x11),
AMD Duron 750 MHz, 512 mb ram.

everything worked fine again. BUT: launching gdm needs a lot of time,
same for gnome2. when i start moz-firebird i am unabled to use it for
minutes (!) until it reacts on user events (typing inet adress into
address bar), same for gaim.
i checked the ata settings; the drive is running in udma66 (as
expected).

cause i am new to *bsd i do not really know where to start or what
further information to provide. any hint/idea would be great !

thx for ur help
seb

ps: the system i used to installed fbsd first is: AMD Duron 800 MHz,
VIA  VT8363/8365 [KT133/KM133] board, old SIS 8MB pci video card, 256 mb
ram
