Code:
echo "blah blah";
?

You'll need to answer the posters questions if you want answers. We don't know if you have an old slow machine, a small amount of RAM and the machine is swapping all of the time, a big desktop environment like KDE, an application that is hogging resources etc.

Slow could mean anything. Slow launching apps? Slow downloading web pages? Slow writing to a drive? Slow booting?

Give some information and you'll get some answers.
