Running it at that relatively low resolution will reduce your performance, but should not to the extent you indicate. Sounds to me more like a real/virtual memory problem - I have suspicions that PMView and Seamonkey both have some bad leaks. Does it immediately improve on re-booting, only to slow down again ?

There is one feature though that is less than w= hat one needs, concerning the video driver. I use Snap at 1040x760 (or so),= 16 MB depth, and it is SLOW. Directory listings of many files take too muc= h time; the light box mode of PMView takes too long to display; work with t= he browser (seamonkey) is often very slow, etc. Would someone have a sugges= tion of what one could try to speed up the display some?
