... fast

I haven't used the fast user switching feature in ubuntu because it has been buggy for me. I need it on a shared machine, it's something I really miss from OS X, so I gave it a try under Lucid. So it works, sort of. The screen goes blank for about 45 seconds as it switches from one user to another. Intermittently, everything locks up and requires a restart. Sometimes it's hard to tell if it's going to work or if the machine has frozen, it takes so long.

Any ideas on how to improve performance here? Thanks
