Did setting 32-bit access help?  I got curious and installed SuSE 9.1 on 
my souped up Compaq (K6-III+ @ 500 mHz, Promise ATA100 IDE, WD 80 GB 
"Jumbo") and boy are you right: SuSE's KDE is about as fast moving as 
maple syrup.  Comparing it to KDE 3.3 running under FreeBSD 5.3 on the 
same system is no comparison at all.

I too would be interested in trying a SuSE kernel upgrade; if anyone has 
a how-to, please post it or its location.

(BTW if any list member uses FreeBSD, I am having a problem running KDE 
as user.  Don't know if it is a BSD issue or a problem with Xorg, which 
replaces XF86 in this release.)
