Your computer is fairly slow. Maybe you could install an older KDE?
Or run a smaller window manager.
If you don't want to do that, disable all eyecandy. Somewhere in the
Control Center is a performance thing to turn off things like sliding
menus and stuff. Pick a simpler theme.
Then you can pay attention to more general Linux performance tuning.
"Turn off any services you don't need" is probably the best advice
here. Kubuntu will likely have tuned other things for you. You can
learn about turning off services here:

General Linux tuning tips can be found here:

And, because I'm a zealot, I'll repeat here the advice one person gave
on the digg.com site:
===================
If you're that fanatical about getting every ounce of juice out of
your box, then you should be a Gentoo-er http://www.gentoo.org/. Read
the forums and wiki, there are many performance tweaks there.
(P.S. I use Ubuntu, and hey, it runs fast enough)
===================
Let us know if anything works out particularly well for you, aLT.
