Cinnamon really slow?

Post by nobodynoze »

Cinnamon seems really slow. Well, when Firefox slows down for me, other apps are effected. I might have LibreOffice open and it takes forever for actions to complete... things slow down to a crawl. I have to wait a long time to be able to 'save file.' Is there a bug? I read someplace that Cinnamon is becoming slower and getting more bloated.

What are your system specs, especially amount of RAM? The amount seen by Mint can be found in: Settings > System Info

What percentage of your memory is being used when you have no applications open (except system monitor)? Can be found in: System Monitor under Resources tab.

Also, is your installation on an internal HD, on USB drive, or on an external HD through some other connection?
