[coLinux-users] How to speed up coLinux

[Brendan S. <Br...@Br...>]

I'm using coLinux and finding the GUI performance painfully slow.  I'd 
like to find some ways to improve the performance, particularly as 
coLinux supposed to execute at "native" speeds.

My configuration is as follows:

    * 0.8.0-devel-20070302 (2.6.17-co-0.8.0)
    * mem=512
    * kernel=vmlinux
    * mem=512
    * cofs0=c:\
    * root=/dev/cobd0
    * ro
    * eth0=slirp,00:D0:1f:99:88:99,tcp:22:22/tcp:5901:5901

    * Debian Etch distro installed on a real ext3 hard disk partition
      (ie. not on windows file)
    * TightVNC with depth 24 and running a gnome session.

    * Laptop, Pentium M, 2GHz, 2GB RAM.


Is there any way to speed things up?
Is SLIRP just terribly slow?
How much difference would changing the vnc depth to 16 or 8 make?  I'd 
like to avoid that if possible :)

Thanks, Brendan.
