                            SPEED
                            =====
.
Since I am developing on LINUX MINT, that is where I judge
 most of my 'speed' from. MINT is the OS on the laptop I am
 using.
.
I have several other OS available in VM ware, but that's hardly
 fair; anything in VM is running with less memory and
 resources.
.
In MINT then... the speed seems excellent.
.
I was mainly worried about "click speed" up front, as well
 as click "accuracy". Both were 100 over 100. 
.
It rips like a dirt bike, if you stay with colors for
 background. 
.
A couple forms with a couple picture backgrounds
 loading up, does produce a slight delay, though nothing what
 I would call objectionable.
