FC4 GNOME 2.10 a bit slow on Toshiba Satellite A40

[Yordanis Tornes Medina]

Hi
I have a Toshiba Laptop (2.8 GHz, 768 MB RAM, TOSHIBA
MK4025GAS 4200 rpm) with Fedora Core 4 (GNOME 2.10)
installed, I note that is a slightly slow, for
example, when I boot the first time that I click the
GNOME menu panel it delay a few seconds in open,
during this process my HD reach 100 % of utilization.
Any body know why?

Greetings

How much swap do you have, and your video card?

That's interesting... it does that to me, also it does it when I hit
Alt-F2 and begin typing.
This problem is nonexistent with KDE, which I use most of the time
anyway. I've got a P4/Centrino 1.6gHz with an ATI Radeon Mobility
9000.

I believe that particular case is because of the autocomplete code,
which for some reason is extremely slow, at least for the first time
it's used in a session.

I think the auto-completion and menu generation should be done
completely asynchronously, i.e. non-blocking. I can wait for the
suggestion of auto-completion or icons in the menu, but I don't want to
wait for things I type or display of the menu.
