Slow slow slow.

[Gabriel Jägenstedt]

I have installed fluxbox.
I might have been a bit unclear here.

I'm not exagerrating at least not much.
I have a Amd64 3700+ with 2GB ram that is the reason I'm so amazed at
the time it takes.

The thing is that only certain applications take that long, most are
fast. But the ones I know are slow are the ones I named.

Cheers
