How To Improve Ubuntu Desktop Performance
I think most of us who use Firefox on Linux (in this case Ubuntu) had bad performance experiences when we run it with other applications. Ubuntu 8.10 desktop freeze randomly when running Firefox. Some times, I can't even switch to another application if Firefox freezes and only thing that respond is mouse pointer. Today I found partial solution for this. You can increase the performance little bit by doing following:
- Use solid color for desktop background instead of wallpaper
- Use a gtk theme that use low graphical effects like "Mist"
- Select "Best Shapes" option for font rendering
- Turn off visual effects
Above things will improve desktop performance little bit. When I used above setting it improves my Firefox performance and it partially solved gmail page scrolling problem I had when I used heavy gtk theme.
