Dear all,
My machine has openSuSE 12.3, a lenovo ideadpad with 8 cores (4 are
virutal) and 8 GB memory.
For a number of coot versions in it (including the newest one),
coot answers slowly to rotating, but specially the space bar translate
is even more slow (from residue x to x+1 etc.).
Curiously, in either CentOS or even openSuSE in oracle virtualboxes
(under this openSuSE host), to which I liberate only 1 cpu and only 1 GB
memory, it goes much faster, at a very reasonable speed. How could be
that? In principle I thought that the multicore configuration of the
host machine might be the culprit.
So, for coot tasks, I have been using the virtual machine, but that
is impractical.
The closest to this problem I found was

could not devise any trial to solve the problem. Even trying the

<http://www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/personal/pemsley/coot/web/docs/coot.html#Slow-Computer-Configuration>
configuration did not solve the problem satisfactorily.
I tried to search wider, but could not find other suggestions. Should
you have one, I would be glad to try.
Sincerely yours,
Jorge
