That counts as news? A bloated desktop runs quickly on powerful hardware? Gee, surprising.

How about they design it to run quickly on SLOW hardware - then it will be fast by default when you put it behind something powerful.

E clips along on my 800mhz single core ARM netbook with no complaints. I'm afraid to see how slow Gnome3/Unity would run on it after seeing how much of a dog Gnome 2 is on the little guy xD

Go to your room.

We will have no reality in this forum, young man.

Jeff,

I run Mint cinnamon on a 1.2mhz intel and it runs very nicely if you want that datapoint ;-)

Several days ago, I read that Mint Cinnamon is "sweet." ;)

I wonder what speed that is.

Traceyanne,

It runs as well as gnome 2 and xfce. Compared to a beefy cpu (intel 2.5mhz) I see little slowdown.

Bob,

Sweet!
