That is not bad at all.

What is slow about it? Just the startup or the use of applications or
both? One thing I noticed is memory usage and swap can kill
performance. You can run free to see how much memory/swap you have in
use. What is the output from this command:
top -b -n 1
Thanks!
I have tried,here is the message:
Mem: 507856k total, 381252k used, 126604k free, 50964k buffers
Swap: 305192k total, 0k used, 305192k free, 135780k cached

Besides,my video card shares my memory,so the "Mem"is less than 512mb.
The first several days after i install my gentoo,the speed is fast(at
least faster than kde which i used before!).Then,now,the speed is slow
down.Someone says i have installed more software now.But i just don't
know why?

The development version of xfce supports desktop icons. You would need
to unmask the latest version of xfce in Gentoo.
I will try when i free!Thanks for your advice!
The specs of your computer seem fine to run the latest gnome. What is
the RPM speed of your hard drive. I am suspecting the problem is that
with 512MB of memory, you are using up swap. Your hard drive is
probably only 5200 RPM which can make a big difference on swap speed.
Send me the output of the top command above, the output of free and the
output of:
"The output of free",you mean that the output before i startx???
hdparm -Tt /dev/hda
Sorry!But i just don't know what you mean by this?
I expect your reply!
Thanks again!
Replace hda with your correct drive.
