Ubuntu 8.10 significantly slower than previous versions

I do not believe that is a good thing; Just because Gnu/Linux can be
faster than windows vista doesn't automatically mean we are serving our
users well.

The good news always comes from the users directly who never complain
about slowness. When you start to hear complaints, that's when you have
a problem.

I've noticed Savage2 doesn't work as well any more. But I was cutting it
thin with 1GB of RAM with that game but fortunately 8.04 was just slim
enough to run it well. Now however the extra bulk in 8.10 has made the
game cache more often and me die is horribly messy ways. :-P
