My personal experience with Linux was that Blender was just as smooth 
as it is under Windows XP (which actually came up as a disappointment, 
I was hoping that the Linux version would run better, not being 
dragged down with all the extra gadgetry that Windows insist on 
starting at boot time).  Mind you, my Linux is a different 
distribution (Fedora) so I cannot vouch for the SuSE.  But there are a 
few things you can look for.  Do you have other applications running 
in the background?  The "ps" command will list those, see if any is 
capturing a sizable portion of the CPU and/or memory.  Also at the 
moment you installed Linux, did you define and size a swap space about 
1/2 of your RAM memory?  Finally, you may check if Blender is running 
at too low a priority (that is a long shot, I never recall having to 
renice a process to get adequate response time under Linux -- on a 
large, multi user UNIX server, yes, but not on a stand-alone computer).

If you still cannot find anything, perhaps you should try running some 
benchmark program and assess if the performance of those is the same 
under Linux as Windows.  If you are losing performance on a benchmark 
program, you may have to try your luck with a Linux forum, you will 
find real experts who are extremely helpful there.
