@t159:
no problems in Foresight though
BUT...now I am experiencing the slowing down in Ubuntu as well as Sid also
I am rebooting with "acpi=force pnpbios=off" options to see whether it saves the problems
If else,I have to remove all .gnome and .gconf dir in /home/username
also,make sure ur gnome-system-monitor shows the usage of resources unlike zombies.if that is-then hal/system-tool-backends/gnome-system-tools are the culprits.also check /etc/hosts content that it is correct.else boot time will be longer as Gnome searches for host names
again that too fails,I will reinstall gnome-session and other important Gnome packages.
Gnome is very fast in some sytems.for eg; In a laptop Gnome is rocketing!yes,it uses older Gnome though(Debian Etch)
Either it is a Gnome problem or Xorg problem.I dont suspect the 2nd one though
