In an earlier post you mention that the change from desktop to default 
was because SLE uses kernel-default.

The question which follows from what you wrote above is: don't SLE users 
use workstations the same as those used by you and me and which come 
from openSUSE to begin with? The question which then follows is: why 
aren't the SLE users allowed the enjoyment of using a faster responsive 
system than they now have and which their companies are paying money for 
(but then, I don't know what the commercial arrangements are re SLE)?
