   Something is *seriously* broken with your system.  Nothing going back to   
   windows 3.0 on a 80386sx with 512K of ram is slower than vista.  Vista and   
   7ghz of processor and 2GB of ram is about equal to a previous generation OS   
   on a 300mhz P1/cyrix686.   
      
   What exactly is slower?  Moving windows around?  Then check that you're using   
   the right X driver and not just the generic VESA output.  Ditto with every   
   other system.  Make sure you're using DMA on the hard drive ('hdparm -I   
   /dev/hda').   
      
   Make sure you don't have any runaway processes.  Run top and see what is   
   running.  Check CPU usage and also memory usage.
