FC2 has completely surprised me with how slow it is. I have a 2.7 GHz 
Celeron
with 256MB RAM, and it takes 3 seconds to start a new xterm. The System 
Monitor
shows 1-3% CPU occupancy, 154MB used RAM, and 96.9MB of swap. I'm a 
little bit
surprised that it's using any swap with only 60% of memory full.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
