yeah having a quad core with 6G of ram takes care of just about any
system performance issues (except nepomuk and related tools which I've
had to disable due to a massive memory leak that can eat all ram in a
day). I suspect it's that the caching and downloading works better. I
only get 180k down so it's easy for my entire network to flood. It
doesn't help that I can't see the cache for a html5 video on youtube
so it could all be perception... or just the fact that I tend to watch
1-2 hour video's on youtube and not the average 1-10 minutes.
