Speed

Not TV and not nose candy

Fedora performance. Just thinking.

I did a fresh / clean install of Fedora 12 Beta. The system was pretty fast and responsive. Then I started tweaking things to my liking. At some point, and we're talking inside of 24 hours, not over weeks or months, the system slowed down dramatically. One of the most notable issues was that Firefox started hanging for long periods of time.

Constantly monitoring .xsession-errors I see several warnings, most of which I don't really understand.

Evolution is causing some issues. NSPlugin Wrapper is causing some issues.

These messages are repeated over and over. There were more. I've removed AdobeReader from the system.

yum remove AdobeReader_enu

I believe that some of these errors have stopped occurring but I'm not really sure.
