I run KDE and sometimes a bunch of compute-bound research tasks of my own creation. I haven't compiled it in so long I may be confusing it with gnome or KDE or any of that collection of things that monopolize my machine from time to time. A couple of years back I went to 'bin' on things I don't use much, and did some trimming on modular packages like KDE to cut down my emerge times. There are just so many times when I want to break in to fool with some hardware and I'm loath to do it during an emerge. I just think of these measures as saving me days of emerging from time to time. ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
