Open office takes an inordinately long time to open. The opening speed
has not improved significantly as far as I can tell since RH 8 through
RH9 and FC-1.
Mozilla mail and Evolution take quite a bit longer to open than kmail
which is fast, but Mozilla and Evolution have more functionality.
I use kdm as the display manager and kde as desktop. I have not tired
with gdm or gnome.
I did not use any tools to measure the performance, this is just my
gestalt impression.
