can't keep up with keyboard input

Former Member over 13 years ago

Bill Marshall's initial review of the RPi says:

"I can confirm that things seem very slow: it can't even keep up with relative slow keyboard input."

Think that was using the Fedora 14 Remix image, this other document on DesignSpark makes it sound as though the Debian one is better to use:

Note also that the FAQ for the Fedora 14 Remix claims "The GUI in particular is slow, because the 2D graphics (the X Window System) are not yet connected to the 3D graphics processing unit on the SOC." - but, that would surely also be true of the Debian and ArchLinux distros, both of which are reportedly significantly faster.

Possibly slowed down additionally due to not having completed the install yet, thus no specialist drivers etc to speed up the process. Just a thought
