I use both FreeBSD and Windows on the same machine. But as far as I have found out Windows is working far faster than FreeBSD. For example I run Netscape on Windows and FreeBSD (even the same version) and FreeBSD is getting frozen for a while and using hard drive so much (possible swapping?) and after it everything is working slowly, and even when I want to close Netscape it takes 10 seconds for the process to disappear. But it works very well on windows. Even the terminal programs are working strangely slow. I just use KDE on my FreeBSD box and nothing else is running when X is running. One of my friend told me that his Redhat Linux was working far faster than Windows in his machine. Can this be true? by the way what can be wrong with my computer?
