The default desktop is GNOME + Mozilla +
OpenOffice.org + Evolution.
gnome-*, evolution, mozilla, ooffice.
Fedora Core also includes KDE (most of /usr/bin/k*), Epiphany, XFCE, and
other choices.
What specific performance problems have people observed so far in
the
desktop? For example heavy CPU or memory usage by particular
applications. Another example long latency between event and resulting
action.
Startup/login times are the most visible latencies, but also repaint
(during opaque window resize for example, or opening a menu).
What performance tools have people used so far to identify
performance
problems with desktop applications?
speedprof, strace -t, memprof, printf-with-clock()/gettimeofday(),
Soeren's kernel module.
