    No, thats definitely not the problem either. I have 96Mb of RAM
    in my system - 64Mb of which is cached and 32Mb uncached.

    Actually, my system runs *faster* with 64Mb of RAM than it does
    with 96Mb. The 32Mb of uncached RAM slows things down
    noticeably, but that happens regardless of the kernel I use, or
    OS for that matter. The slowdowns are definitely not memory
    related.

    Thanks for the idea though.
