Nope, I just put up with it. Since most of the computers I have
running it are not in front of me it doesn't bother me.
On thing I have noticed - on the same hardware, the Linux version
STOMPS the Windows version. On my P2-450 it takes me about a day to
complete a unit under Windows. On the same machine running Linux it
takes about 9 hours.
I hear my G3-266 at work is outperforming my P2-400 running Win98 as
well.
