→Why is the Remix so slow?
The GUI in particular is slow, because the 2D graphics (the X Window System) are not yet connected to the 3D graphics processing unit on the SOC.
General tips for performance:
* Work with only one app at a time. Viewing the Raspberry Pi's output on a large, high-definition display invites running many applications at once, but the Raspberry Pi does not have a lot of memory.
* Consider [[Raspberry_Pi_Fedora_Remix_Administration#Adding_Swap_Space|adding swap space]] -- though the jury is still out on the value of swapping to an SD card.
* Use apps that have the same look and feel. It's more likely that these programs will use the same graphical toolkit (for example, GTK3 or Qt4), reducing the amount of memory used for shared libraries.
* Try alternate apps that provide similar functionality.
