So each machine was a different one? I see that you have more RAM than my
machine. Perhaps this is the problem. This is embarrassing, but I don't
recall if the machine has 256 or 512 MB. I will check. Still, it has tons of
swap. But if it is using that, it takes time. Are these running KDE or GNOME
or some other that perhaps leaves more RAM for other apps?
