Well, it's mostly slow when it starts a new program, eg. Netscape takes
a
long time to load. You can almost click the icon and then go put the 
kettle on ;-) 

There _is_ a swap problem, but it only starts when kfm have run for
while.
It generates a whole bunch of tmpfiles in memory called 'kioslave?'

Maybe I should get some more ram, since it's so cheap, but looking at
the 
inside of my PC it looks like I'll have to disassemble the whole thing
to
install the extra ramcards.
