I wonder if it's a 0.11 thing or maybe a Linux thing. I've been running 0.12.3 on the Mac lately and haven't noticed it being particularly slow. It's got the clock weirdness it's always had, but things seem to run okay. Though I haven't been running venti, so I suppose there could be some issue with heavy memory usage. BLS
