F16 slowness

[Mike Chambers]

Welp, I reported before when had KDE installed that my system was slow
to respond when opening programs, maneuvering through emails, browsing,
etc...

Well I installed the Live desktop spin from 9/04 with gnome this time,
and it was worse.  I would be in a CLI (gnome-terminal) and just typing
"ls* could take seconds (10 ore more) to almost a minute before it
finally responded.  Just hitting the down or up arrows to move my cursor
with my keyboard would do same thing.  Also same thing when using mouse
to move to a menu (my name in top right corner) and waiting for the menu
itself to appear.  Yes this was an install from the live image, so
wasn't the slowness of the dvd.

So there is something causing both and if you haven't done a fresh
install lately, try it and see.  I have a dual CPU and 6Gigs ram, so
it's not cpu power or memory, and F15 (what am on as type this) runs
just fine.

Smolt profile, although with F15..
