[sudo-discuss] help! 3d printer computer is really really slow

[Jake]

i was trying to 3d print last night and ended up having to use my laptop, the
desktop computer used for 3d printing is DREADFULLY slow and i'm not sure why.

I was watching htop to look for CPU usage and memory usage and neither seemed
to be maxed out, and i wasn't doing that much stuff.  Could it be a video card
issue?

if anyone has ideas or wants to jump on there and figure it out, or replace the
whole computer with a new box that's faster, please go ahead.  You can use the
same hard drive as it's setup pretty good right now with 3d printing software
and static IP and all that.

thank you
