im running a p4 2.8 ghz (i686), 512 mb of ram, im comparing it to how 
windows xp runs on my computer..
i measured memory usage from the gnome system monitor..
u might tell me that i can sacrifice some boot time in exchange of 
stability, but actually the system is really slowly-responsive.. and this 
bugs me.. ;)
