<DIV>Before I start, I just want to say THANKS to the package maintainers. My installation of </DIV>
<DIV>both packages went very smooth. I was amazed to discover that they had both been integrated into the dtlogin after the installation was completed so all I had to do was to </DIV>
<DIV>log out and log back in. Well done, guys!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My box is a Ultra10/sparcv9 440Mhz with Solaris 9 4/04. I installed all the patches (180</DIV>
<DIV> in total!) recommended by the Solaris patch manger prior to downloading the two </DIV>
<DIV>packages. The graphics card is Creator 3D (FFB2+). I set up Xsun to run defdepth at 24.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I implemented all those performance enhancement tips for gnome, i.e. running the Atlanta </DIV>
<DIV>theme, using window frame, no icon in the menu, and etc. Still, the gnome appears to </DIV>
<DIV>run much slower than CDE in terms of graphics rendering and input response.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I had the kpersonalizer set up the performance meter right in the middle when setting up</DIV>
<DIV> the KDE. Boy, this kde_gcc 3.3.1 package just rocks! Graphics rendering and input </DIV>
<DIV>response is comparable to that in CDE, considering my CDE only uses the window frame</DIV>
<DIV>mode.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It appears to me that the CSWgnome package does not take full advanage of the graphics</DIV>
<DIV> accelerator. The CSWkde_gcc package on the other hand uses every bit of it.</DIV>
