help speeding up the OS
Is there any way I can help speed up the os? It seams like it is dog slow. Yes I know it is pre alpha. But it just seams that it is really slow and that it should at lest be usable. unless it is my hardware. it just seams super slow.

What exploer is ROD using and were do I find the source on the
http://svn.reactos.com/viewcvs/trunk/
site. So I can take a look at it and see if I can help improve the speed or something because I really want to help with this OS but I done have any hardware programming skills yet. But I can make basic windows apps.

IIRC, it was originally written by Martin Fuchs as a project and was later converted to C++ and ported into ROS after Wine by Martin.
It is by no means slow, but it's no where near as fast as any of the windows varients (or any Linux desktop) and this shows when I try to run it on a machine like PII 233Mhz where is becomes almost unusable.
You'll find the source here http://svn.reactos.com/viewcvs/trunk/re ... m/explorer
However you'll need more than skills in basic windows apps to optimise it. You could add to it though as a start for the learning curve, it is very much work in progress.
