I was keeping KDE going on a SuSE 7.3 box, but from time to time the
swap gets "eaten up" and drags the machine to its knees, which I heard
can be a KDE issue. So for now I'm running fvwm on said machine, it
lets me do anything I want if I want to use a GUI, and seems a lot
faster for these tasks. Also has its own slick little monitoring applet
running to keep an eye on memory, cpu etc..
But I think if I were to run this in production, I'd be inclined to turn
X off completely. I am curious about possible performance gains doing
this, perhaps if I get time one day I'll do some comparisons...
