It takes 5 seconds on a 1.86GHz Pentium M with a Radeon X300 and Xorg 7.1 here... in a gnome-terminal. It even takes 10s in a xterm. I don't actually find it slow... BUT, it takes 0.5 seconds in rxvt-unicode. Which X terminal are you using ? So this is not a X server problem, this is just a matter of how the X terminal is implemented. So unless you have a good reason, I will close this bug. You may want to complain to the developer of your X terminal... > Regardless of Xorg, please do not close this bug: Debian (stable) has > XFree86 only, not Xorg. > XFree86 and Sarge won't get fixed anymore. I understand that Etch is not released yet. But, keeping bugs that are fixed in testing is not really that useful. Closing them with an explanation is not that bad.
