Maybe it's the hardware we're running? I found KDE to be very snappy on an Intel core two duo (old gear by todays standards). I have no doubt it would be snappy as frak on this rig.

I'm not a gamer either, unless you count an occasional DOS game via DOSBOX-X (it's a great port btw if you use the original one) and various Atari 2600 and NES roms. I've got all of the roms for both. I grew up with those consoles and using them, even via emulation brings back some good memories and fun I had playing those old games. I still love to play Asteroids and Missile command. Was never really a pac man person,but, I've got those roms too. > Oh, and my computing perspective is more 1975 ... > efficiency, tight code, to-the-point.

I'd often use assembler to achieve those results.
