Hello,

Does anyone know why COOT is suddenly as slow as molasses on my Fedora
12 desktop? I had and old version of Coot working after my initial
Fedora 12 install (from FC7 after a disk crash). However, now all
versions of COOT have the same problem, very slow response and refresh
rates. It does not seem to matter whether the directory is local or
NFS, even before a PDB file is loaded it slows to a crawl. With a PDB
file loaded the interface becomes catatonic. Centering takes several
seconds.

Any idea what the problem could be?
COOT was amazingly fast on the same hardware with FC7, so it must be
Fedora12 specific. The glxgears speed seems slow to me.
