Interesting. Does anyone else experience this?

On my system, with Win2kPro and 128 meg of RAM, Win2k was *very* slow, but it 
was because of nearly constant swapping if I opened any more than 1 program 
at a time. Once I increased my RAM to 384 meg, Win2k has been *very* fast.

But I was imagining that if a pig like Win2kPro could run quickly in 384 meg 
of RAM, then certainly FC1 / KDE could... Maybe I need to compile myself, 
like you suggested.
