Performance
When installed on a hard drive, MEPIS is no faster or slower than any other version of Linux. In general, desktop Linux is as fast as MS-Windows XP running on the same machine.
When running from CD, MEPIS can be quite slow due a CDROM drive being very slow compared to a hard drive. Also the CD is compressed to make room for about 2GB of software, so when the software is run it has to be decompressed on-the-fly.
