Hardware is a dual-core Opteron 2.5GHz with 2GB mem and a NVidia 6800GS video card (with NVidia binary drivers). Using only a couple of performance hints found on the mailing lists: QT/glib issue - http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2008-August/003612.html Konqueror tweak - http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2008-September/003893.html NVidia driver settings (not applicable if you're using ATI hardware, obviously) - http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=118088 Of the three things listed above, the glib and NVidia settings resulted in very noticeable performance improvements for me. Also, remember that hal and dbus need to be enabled and running. Hope that helps, Matt > Cheers, > Michal > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
