I've finaly gotten out of that evil linux cult and come back to the land of FreeBSD, how ever in 3.3R i have noticed that programmes such as Netscape, Licq, gnomecc, gIDE, e-conf, et cetera do not load as fast as they should, or in fact, occasionaly not in a reasonable amount of time. on a 400Mhz machine with 256MB of RAM i shouldn't have time to fetch a cup of coffie while waiting for one of these relitivly small applications to load when i don't have time to blink when loading Emacs or Glade. I've tried everything i can think of (including several re-installations, compiling the software by hand, et cetera) but i still cant figure it out. If any one has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
