Hi,

I have a question regarding switching from X-Window to virtual terminal. Usually I use both of them and I often switch between of them.
I wonder why does the switching from X11 to VT take so much time, while switching in opposite direction takes place almost immediately.
I have Intel E8400 processor and GF7600GT - and with that configuration it takes usually 3-8 seconds. The switching time even grows when I have firefox running with many of tabs.
Could anyone explain what's going on?
