Why do webpages take longer to loo in ubuntu 12.04 than Windows 7
- by Emil Abraham
For example, when I click on a Facebook picture, the picture remains pixelated for about 30 seconds, then starts to clear up. Or when I watch YouTube videos, I can't watch them on HD without running into buffer issues. Windows 7 is just much snappier. It might be an issue with the graphics card.
