I am embarrassed to admit that I do not know how to figure this out. I am having a problem with both mozilla-mail and evolution-mail

mozilla-mail and evolution-mail both use the same process to "Attach file(s)". When I try to attach a file my Fedora Core 3 machine is toooo slow. It ties up the machine for minutes at a time. If I try to move the GUI is smears. "top" does not indicate lack of memory or lack of cpu cycles.

I have not had any luck googling for others who have seen this before me. Do any of you WLUGers have a suggestion.

My Fedora Core 4 works very quickly.

HI Ken, I'm surprised that 'top' doesn't show anything useful. I would have expected to find a CPU hog. You might try getting 'top' running in a terminal window *prior* to running the "Attach files" experiment which messes up your maching so badly. Insure that 'top' is not displaying idle processes, and that it is sorting by CPU usage (the 'i' command and the '<' or '>', as appropriate). I like to keep a copy of xosview running (its a GUI that shows some of the info shown by 'top' without the gory details). When something goes awry, I can see it immediately. I'm not sure what else to suggest since I use neither mozilla-mail nor evolution-mail (I use Thunderbird). Try Chuck's suggestion - I'll bet it works. Chuck's a "Fedora Core" kinda guy. :-) Later, Andy - -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDXESZHl0iXDssISsRAn34AJ9vh95p5waqXppDD2OvIvvU/0JdNACfQOHa RS2Rk6R+WBGoeMsmxRM30uo= =2fz7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
