So I have a
lenovo laptop Running Xubuntu 8.10 and upgraded to 1GB of RAM
My problem started when I noticed it going slower then a desktop with the same clock speed that runs windblows XP
So I installed a few things that report CPU usage on my linux laptop... The result? Its constantly spiking up to 100% CPU for the smallest requests like opening up firefox takes like 30 seconds at 100% CPU....
The same program also reports RAM usage and the results of that show that it barely even touches my RAM for anything....
Now I ask... Can this be tweaked just like all other things linux??? If so how?
