Star Making the Case for XFree86's Speed
Linked by Guillaume Maillard on Thu 10th Oct 2002 05:44 UTC
X11, Window Managers 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.

Any downloadable binary previews yet? Besides screenshots maybe?

(What's so wrong about open development, heh?)
