Being a BeOS user (a purely desktop system) and because I code under Linux, I see XFree86 (v4.1 on my machine) as a user and as a developper. And this is where the problem lies. My Gnome or KDE desktops are slow in comparison with other operating systems, but XFree86, the 'engine' behind these desktops, proves me that it's not. Let's look at what I have in front of me: a dual Pentium III at 933Mhz with 512MB of memory, a Radeon 32 AIW, a modified Mandrake 8.0 powered by kernel 2.4.18.

You are wrong. I never said that he does not have any problems. Please do not put words I never said.
I SAID that these might be DRIVER BUGS, which are very common. It is more common/logical to *suspect* the driver for these screw ups, rather than the whole GDI of Windows.
