Last thread I create today I promise.
I have KDE4 installed on FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE and I really like it too. However its laggy and freezes. When I launch something there is significant delay by the time I click, to the time the hard drive light starts flashing, to when its finally loaded up on the screen. I got a dual core 64-bit cpu and 2 gig of ram in a Compaq Q machine that was running Windows Vista. Lots of memory avail, and CPU utilization can be near idle when this occurs. I can do a fresh boot and something simple and get the lag. If I play music, the music is always interrupted when I launch a new program, switch workspaces, etc.
And after a few hours of useage the desktop freezes and I have no choice but to do a reboot. If I open up a console via
If I knew this was a resource issue I won't hesitate to buy more, but I have another compaq machine with same resources but no lagging. It too does freeze, but not near as often.
Where should I begin to look?
Thanks again,
P.M.

ctl-alt-f2
top won't even run. Have to press the power button and let it shutdown the OS. (Ironically the same problem I am having with my Windows 8.1 machine that I am looking forward to blowing OS away and replacing with FreeBSD and some sort of desktop. )If I knew this was a resource issue I won't hesitate to buy more, but I have another compaq machine with same resources but no lagging.
