gnome is extremely slow

Hi, I have a big problem. I come from debian where all works at a decent speed.

I have tryed archlinux with kdemod during one month and it worked greatly (but firefox lasts 30 seconds in open, while other kde aplications runned fast). I am trying gnome, and all, absolutely all, is really really slow. Desktop lasts 1 minute in charge (while in kdemod lasted 4-5 seconds), and all aplications, like firefox, pidgin, etc... all, run very very slowly, they lasts too much time to run. After run they works normally and fast, but I think that is not normal, for example, that gnome terminal lasts 20 seconds to open.

What must I do to improve the performance? I repeat, in kdemod konqueror, amarok, konsole... runs very fast but on gnome...

If you need some information ask me about.

Greetings

Re: gnome is extremely slow

Make sure you have proper localhost entry in /etc/hosts and you have lo interface enabled in /etc/rc.conf.

Re: gnome is extremely slow

#
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#

#<ip-address>   <hostname.domain.org>   <hostname>
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain   localhost

# End of file

this is my /etc/hosts I believe it is good..., and lo is activated in rc.conf:

INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth2)

Any more solutions? :S

EDIT: strange... if I do "ifconfig eth2 up", being eth2 my wireless connection, system becomes slow, and if I do "ifconfig eth2 down", my system becomes fast, but without internet xDD

What does mean it?

Re: gnome is extremely slow

Append the value of HOSTNAME from your rc.conf to /etc/hosts.
Example if HOSTNAME=arch in rc.conf then your hosts file becomes

127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain   localhost   arch
