I'm using user PPP, and everytime I dial up, everything works too slow. At least X works quite bad (and so KDE). When I try "startx", it freezes for a few seconds and then it starts and takes a long time to load KDE. Also, the applications in KDE start very slowly (when they start). Everythings works allright when i get disconnected.... Can anyone give me an idea of what is happening (It isn't the first time it happens, I've tried in another computer with FreeBSD and it happens the same)? I'm using FreeBSD 5.3 amd64.
