I have the feeling that my Fedora Core 1 Linux installation on a IBM ThinkPad R40e laptop is too slow to start up applications.
Once an application has been started, its response time is adequate.
This happens even when I start up only a term and a relatively fast application (AbiWord).


The system configuration is:
128MB memory
256MB swap
1.7GHz Intel Mobile Celeron (stepping 07) processor (3381.65 BogoMIPS)
Gnome desktop

What should I check in order to speed up the system?

My suspects are:
1. Too many services - how to determine how much memory each service consumes?
2. Slow version of libraries (I vaguely remember having read something about this about RedHat 9.0). A google search caused me to feel as if I am searching for a needle in a big pile of hay.
