It was suggested that my cpu &gt; might be having to bear a heavy load because my \
radeon X600 video card wasn't &gt; sufficiently capable. Then Nikos Chantziaras \
told me to try "AccelMethod" &gt; "EXA" in my xorg.conf. This was not really to \
solve the problem of speed, but &gt; to address the random freezes when desktop \
effects were running. The &gt; difference is immense. Now, with desktop effects \
running it is totally &gt; stable, as far as I can tell - I haven't had a single \
freeze since I enabled &gt; this yesterday morning - and I haven't seen long \
delays and runaway cpu usage. &gt; &gt; I've written this up at \
http://userbase.kde.org/GPU- &gt; \
Performance#Desktop_Effects_causes_random_freezes. I understand that the same \
