AlphaCore 0.9 slow on a xp1000

[Carlos Rodrigues]

Hi!

I've finished installing AlphaCore 0.9 on a AlphaStation XP1000 to make 
some tests and everything is slow. Very slow indeed.

This machine used to have a SuSE 8.1 install and it was as snappy as one 
can expect from this hardware, but AlphaCore just drags its feet everywhere.

Ok, I haven't upgraded to 1.0a yet (still downloading), but I wanted to 
know if other people with this same hardware experienced the same thing.

This box, together with an ES40 are used to crunch numbers, so every bit 
of performance is needed. If this is expected behaviour, I'll just 
revert back to the old install.

Any thoughts?
