App on Linux - really slow... any ideas why?

Wed May 6 03:17:43 EDT 2009

No idea why, but it might be a good idea to eliminate Ubuntu.  Download a
liveCD Slackware based distro and see if it still happens.  For instance,
Zenwalk live or Slax.  Or Mandriva One.  

The other thing I would try is whether it is the same performance with all
desktops.  So on Ubuntu, install KDE and see if still happens with that.  If
so, try Fluxbox and see if it still happens there.

I do have odd experiences of unexplained slowness in Linux running Gnome -
particularly with Nautilus, which seems to slow to a crawl with large
folders.  Whereas either Konqueror or Xfe as file managers remain very
snappy.
