As nobody has answered yet, I will give you a few advices.

First, if the problem is showing in general in KDE, then you should ask the 
kde-user mailing list.

But on this particular problem, please look at some mail archive (for 
example http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/ ) and look at the archive for the 
kde-user mailing list (Start with February 2001).

If I remember correctly, the first advice was to verify (in KControl) the 
sound system (Arts) of KDE. Real time sound for example is bad for 
performance.

If looking at the mail archives does not bring you something, then open a 
bug report at http://bugs.kde.org. You may check before that no such bug 
report already exists.

Subject:	Kword flashing screen

I have finally managed to get koffice installed. However, I am having two
problems, perhaps related:

1. The test on kword flickers every few keystrokes. And the cursor flashes
with every keystroke. (In fact, this is the case with every application in
kde2. But it was not the case with kde1)

2. kde2 in general is running terribly slow on my box. I can't imagine
that this is normal. Opening applications takes as long as a minute. It
takes around five minutes for kde2 to start running after the splash
screen apears.

I am using a Supermac 600 computer (mac clone), and the processing speed
is 200 MHZ.

I am running SuSE linux 7.0. I am using their binary version of kde2.

I am also a newbie.

Thanks in advance
