[mythtv-users] menu speed

[Paul Miller]

I turned off the transparencies and changed the draw method from 
Fill to None, and did not notice any difference in response time.

I'm running MythTV on top of KDE while I test it (still in full 
screen mode).  Would this make a difference?  KDE works very well 
on this p2-450.  Nothing in particular is running in the 
background.

What speed computer are you running MythTV on?
