when? what are you running?

otherwise:

-open top in a terminal and watch it, it will show you where your CPU
cycles are going

-turn off desktop effects

-disable or delete beagle

-turn off openSUSE Updater

-pick a less resource demanding theme
–no round corners
–solid color, no shading or 3D looking window frames
–etc

-run a solid color background

-run less demanding applications (like, use pine for mail, not
thunderbird, etc)

-buy a faster processor

-buy faster hard drives

-buy a video card with better drivers for Linux

-add memory

-add video ram

which is best for you?? no idea…

I think what palladium may be suggesting is that we need more information about your system.

Graphics card in particular might help.
