Hi,

I like the netbsd's strong support for hardwares (even new laptops), full 
user control over environment, good engineering of pkgsrc, uvm, etc which are 
still lacking in other OS's.  However, when I try to play even very simple 
graphical displays (for example, enabling graphical displays in xmms) NetBSD 
is very slow!  The graphical displays of xmms is very slow!  In gnome, when I 
enable the esd meter on while playing xmms, everything plays in slow motion.  
kde's mediaplayer, noatun gets choppy just playing music.  Is it the 
compatibility issue or do I need to tune my system?

My system is 500Mhz/128M RAM.

If you have xmms, please try playing music with the graphical display turned 
on and you'll see what I'm talking about.  Also, if you have gnome, please 
enable ESD meter and play xmms.

Is there any workaround this?

Thanks


Yours sincerely,
