i've noticed recently that whenever i log into my computer as root to tidy things up or run modifications, the system seems more responsive, i.e. apps launch a bit faster, web-pages load more quickly and scroll more smoothly, menus seem to fade more smoothly. does anyone know why this is? i'm tempted to just remain loged on as root. whenever i repair my permissions from the installer disk, it always finds problems and fixes them (even when i ran it every day) but my admin user never seemed to be any quicker after having done so and there are always problems to be fixed the next day. what is the cause of this slight performance boost? and why do my permissions corrupt so easily (although i don't think this is the problem)?
