I use the Panorama driver on my T61P and seem to be getting good
performance (110 sysbench points) - almost as good as on my desktop
SDD/Iiyama. 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 ?

Hello everyone!

The installation of eCS RC6a on a T61p was straight-forward, at least for everything I really need. There is one feature though that is less than what 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 much time; the light box mode of PMView takes too long to display; work with the browser (seamonkey) is often very slow, etc. Would someone have a suggestion of what one could try to speed up the display some? Is there a way?

Lother, are you certain that SDDHELP.SYS is getting loaded in CONFIG.SYS?

Sluggish video is usually a Panorama complaint, and performance can be greatly enhanced (even Panorama's) by using the SDD helper driver (though there are some other side effects when using it with Panorama).
