Actual experience...I cannot actually get standard F19 live cd to install
on a dual-core Atom with some appliance-grade video card on it.

We got one system to go by re-nicing gnome-shell to +20, but second time
I tried that it seemed live-locked or something and would not complete software.

On high-end server system, the gnome-shell still eats CPU, but the CPU is strong
enough to handle it.  It was on these systems that I noticed gnome-shell
still sucking CPU after using gdm to launch mate.

Thanks,
Ben
