XO: Performance testing (F10 Beta snap#1)

[Greg Dekoenigsberg]

To make this crystal clear:

Please, EVERYONE, reinstall Fedora 10 Beta Snap 1 using the precise

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestPlans/Fedora10_On_XO#Installing_your_SD_card

This means, for now, no testing of Xfce.  Let's see how GNOME performs 
with these instructions.  Feel free to send general impressions to the 
list.
