What kernel do you have installed?

  alt.os.linux.mandriva has a recent thread titled
New 2010 install impossibly slow.

The system in that instance had an Intel 3Ghz Core 2 Duo 1333FSB 
E8400 with 2 500GB hard drives.  The installer provided the 
server kernel (perhaps due to dual-core cpu), and speed went to 
Hotel in a handbasket.  Installing the desktop kernel 
straightened things out.  A test of 2009.1 showed the same 
divergence between server and desktop kernels.

Unruh says he filed a bug report but I do not have the number.

Cheers!
