Slow loading X or X clients (netscape or similar) ?

On systems without math coprocessor, or perhaps just a system without the absolutely newest hardware, there are sometimes problems with X clients loading slowly.

One tips that perhaps might give some better performance is to look at the Fontpath section of your XF86Config, mine looks like this: 

    FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
    FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
    FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
    FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont/"
    FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
    FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
It's all in the Files section. Well, the trick is, the "Type1" and "Speedo" Paths' should be moved to the bottom of the list (like they are in my example), or perhaps commented out. If you have them in the beginning of the list it might slow down things. Try it !
