If you had read the exchange of posts in thread in 'opensuse-kernel' you 
may have gathered, as I did - but perhaps wrongly, that it was 
acknowledged that there would be some people who *MAY* notice the 
difference when using kernel-default instead of kernel-desktop.

I also mentioned in another post that I was a bit "upset" that this 
change from desktop to default has not been announced to warn people of 
the change.

But what you say above can only be taken as something serious by those 
who decided to replace desktop with default if 'you' can provide solid 
'evidence' of any changes to your system and not simple claims of 
'subjectively' observed negative effects. They will grind you into the 
ground if your evidence is not supported by others.

I cannot support you at the moment because I have not upgraded my system 
from the kernel-desktop - as you can see from my tagline - to 
kernel-default *BUT* I have done so on my laptop, running both os 13.2 
and Leap of Faith, and I *have* noticed a slowdown in some operations 
but I cannot swear to them because I do not run my laptop at the same 
time or even daily as my main (desktop) system.
