Default SuSE 11 - window behaviour - jerky slow

Hello,

I have installed SuSE 11 and have updated with the current patches including a patch to the Kernel. The kernel version is 11.0-2.6.25.11 - 0.1

For the two or so weeks prior to the installation of the patches, SuSE worked perfectly. There was no lag with typing, or opening windows, or scrolling.

Now, windows scroll incredibly slowly. System monitor shows virtually no CPU usage. Eg. 1% Firefox, and Ksysguard 3%.

When I type, there is a lag. Firefox is very very jerky and slow. OpenOffice use is a bit faster. Konqueror is jerky.

It is a bit like an older gentleman slowly shuffling with a cane in hand.

Any suggestions? I really do not want to re-install the o/s. But the system is rather unpleasant to operate at the moment.

Thanks

Mark
