Hi All,

I've just installed ubuntu 9.10 on about 4 of my workmates computers thinking they would be impressed, as previously ubuntu always has much better performance than windows. the 4 computers with ubuntu are extremely slow (all Have nvidia graphics cards) especially in flash and video stuff. farmville as well is disgustingly slow. Any one knows what I can do about it?

Hey, I've just installed Ubuntu 8.10 and it worked slowly at first, but then I updated my graphic card drivers (nvidia x.org something) and everything is fine now. My computer works without doubt much faster than windows 7 which I had few days ago.

Hello… the same problem: everything is slow here… also if I simply pass from a window to another, from an app. to another, or from a “card” of firefox to another… (I’m not English… sorry…)… very slow…
For every thing I muts wait, also seconds….
This with every kind of Ubuntu: from the 8.04, 9.04 and 9.10… Both updated and fresh install after let it format the hard disk: nothing.
And I have not Intel graphic… I have a nVidia card!

Any idea?

“they are in the middle of a huge restructuringof the intel graphics drivers – but it should be sorted out nicely for 9.10″

Sorry, Joel, but if anything version 9.10 is worse.

Instead of BSOD, which belongs to MS, we now have GSOS, Grey Screen Of Slow or Sloth.

Now, unlike MS, how do we get rid of it?

The same problem here. Ubuntu 9.04 is sooo….slow on my machine.
Even entering a folder containing lot of documents requires waiting for 3-5 seconds. Changing tabs is firefox is slower. Things are bit disappointing.
Launching any application takes lot of time.
