ATI + KDE works really slow

yesterday a decided to install arch linux for the first time and got some problems.
i tried to install KDE but it works really slow.I mean it takes me 2-3 secs while open Kickoff menu or close some window.
I googled a bit a i found that there is some bug in last xorg update. but all complaination were from owners of nvidia grafic cards and i got ATI mobility Radeon X2300.
but i decided to use that solution and downgrade xorg package.
I downgrade only packages which start wit xorg-server.....
and prevent them from upgrading again
i noticed some improvement but its still slow an performance is low. now i doest take 3 sec but only 2
then i tried to use glxgears but here is the output
# glxgears
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyError: couldn't open display :0.0
Because i am new in Arch and linux at all, I thing that there is some problem with my graffic card driver or something,
please culd you tell me if I should downgrade any other package or wait until xorg will by repaired? or what?
And the second issue. Why I cant use glxgears ?

i use xf86-video-radeonhd driver
i tryied to disalbe KMS. it sems to be much more quicker now and glxgears works now, but its still not good.
here is output:
glxgears
993 frames in 5.0 seconds = 198.133 FPS
1291 frames in 5.0 seconds = 258.007 FPS
1309 frames in 5.0 seconds = 261.700 FPS
1302 frames in 5.0 seconds = 260.397 FPS
1320 frames in 5.0 seconds = 263.929 FPS
1320 frames in 5.0 seconds = 263.975 FPS
1312 frames in 5.0 seconds = 262.378 FPS
1320 frames in 5.0 seconds = 263.929 FPS
1321 frames in 5.0 seconds = 264.048 FPS
1297 frames in 5.0 seconds = 259.268 FPS
1321 frames in 5.0 seconds = 264.190 FPS
1316 frames in 5.0 seconds = 263.188 FPS
is it good or bad?
but whole problem with kde is still here.
I try to describe it in more details
when i klick on the window in backgroud or minimalize some window, it goes in few steps.
frist i see the border of the window i shoud see on the top. then is fills with the colour and finaly it show me all the contend thet shoul be there. and It all take between 1-2 sec.
It really annoying when i have to wait so long just to switch active window.
btw.thnx for such quick response

First of all, did you have PSE installed before updating to 10.10? If so, you need to do this:
A Reminder for Mac Folks upgrading to Yosemite | Barbara's Sort-of-Tech Blog
Also, be sure you have updated to 10.10.1. And if you have a large number of recently imported images in the organizer, PSE will be slow till organizer is through creating thumbnails for the photos.

That explains a lot. Is there any work around? Or do I just need to increase the speed of my computer?
The way that the iWork apps process Tables is very processor-intensive. There is no good reason that I am aware of so we must assume that there was little attention paid to the efficiency of the code. Tables with Headers and Footers and tables with expressions written in shorthand notation (specifying only row or column rather than full cell addresses) run slower than tables not using these features. Yes, a faster computer will help, but it's an expensive solution and you might still be unhappy with the speed after the upgrade so I wouldn't do it purely for the sake of this problem.
If possible, divide your document into parts (files) that can be edited separately and only assemble the full document when all the parts are complete.

My computer works really slow

My computer started to work really slow even when I just open a folder. It thinks too long then. Half of the memory is almost free, so I was wondering what is the problem?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take an action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name or email address, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

I updated my Ipad to ios8. It's working really slow.

I Updated my iPad to ios8 and its working really slow I backed up my iPad restored it and still having trouble.

I had this issue with my iPad 4. I rebooted the iPad holding down the two "start buttons," which is the home bottom on the bottom and power button on the top right, in the portrait position. Also check to see if you muted the iPad in settings or just turned down the sound all the way, or some other setting in "Sounds." I know that may sound stupid but it's an easy fix I'd that's the problem. I'm not an expert at all but I hope this helps. I'm actually having an issue with my update. It asked for a code after the update. Now I have to use it every time and can't get rid of it. Hopefully somebody will read my post!

Is working really slow

Why is it working so slow and is not as sensitive to the touch as usual?

1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

My iphone 4s is working really slow i have to doble click on the icons to get them open, anyone else having this problem?

I was editing photos and it was getting stuck or frozen and working really slow, so I attempting to close aperture and reopen it but it won't quit aperture and now it won't open up to my photos either. Any ideas?

I was editing photos and it was getting stuck or frozen and working very slowly. I attempted to restart the computer but it would not allow me to quit aperture. Now aperture appears in my toolbar but will not open up so I can work on any photos. Any ideas?

Did you try opening from the Applications folder?

My IPad 1 works really slow and very limited amount of apps work on it is there a new software update? PLEASE APPLE LAUNCH A NEW SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR IPAD 1

PLEASE suggest what I shall do with my IPad like, shall I dowgrade my IPad so it works properly? or try to find a iOS 6 or 7 upgrade from a different website

The apple approved updates for an iPad 1 max out at 5.1.1. If you find a way to put iOS6 or 7 on there you'll be jailbraking it, which means Apple washes their hands of your device.
unfortunately, software moves faster than hardware. You will likely find, if you manage to hack your device and put 6 or 7 on it that you'll end up with a non functioning brick. Apple doesn't put iOS6 on the iPad one because the one simply lacks the power to run the newer operating system.

ICal starts and runs really slow

I have a prblem with iCal working really slow. It takes almost a minute to start up and every added or modified event just ... mrrr ... it is so slow. What can I do ? I have the latest version of iCal on brand new Powerbook 12" on macOS X 10.4.3

This appears to be a general problem likely related to the change in the way Tiger handles iCal files. Because of Spotlight, each item has to be an individual file in order to be searchable. I think this puts a huge burden on iCal for those of us with lots of calendar items.
If you create a new user and then create an iCal calendar, is it still slow? It is not for me, which means it has something to do with my main user account, which has events going back to 1996.
Here is a thread with some fixes (delete preferences, reimport data, etc), but none seem to work for me. Your mileage may vary.

My iPad is running really slow, and I can't connect to my iTunes account or App Store ,keeps saying can't connect to server ,but have another iPad in house and it's working fine

My ipad is running really slow, and it will not let me connect to iTunes or App Store, but have another iPad in house which is working fine I,please help

Try a hard reset by pressing the Home button and Wake / Sleep button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.
This does not lose any data on your iPad.

Hey mooshi20003,
Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down "shift" while Firefox is starting up. If the crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode, you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
There is also a lot of useful stuff in the [[Firefox crashes]] Knowledge Base article. You might also want to look at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-slow-or-takes-too-long-start performance troubleshooting section].
Hopefully this helps!
