Hello All Slackers!

I am buffeled! I have just upgraded my old system form 8.1 to 10.0 and
the it all went from flash to a sloooooooow performance...

Hardware:

pIII 800, 384MB RAM, ATA HDD, i810 (all onboard), swap 128MB (used
about 10% with system running Xorg and Gnome)

Prior to install I removed all the lib, usr, etc and other system
related directories, so it was almost clean/first install (I've kept
only the /home directory with all the user files). Used the standard
setup. ext2fs

I am really puzzled as:
- some programs like less and man take their time to render text in
console mode (no X running in the background)
- X takes its time to come up and GNOME is veeeery sloooooow when
launching applications (while x required some tingling to get it tuned
up to i810 I am still puzzled about the time it takes for less and man
to render text).
- I cant find any messages in the logs which can give me any clue, nor
I can pinpoint an app that eats system resource when I run top.

Did any of you have the same experience and would any one out there be
able to tell me if I am doing something wrong....

Long live slack!
