There could be several reasons why this is happening, but overall, one thing you can do is to make sure you have the latest video drivers for your graphics adaptor - that helps in and of itself; second is to make sure that you have only the services running that you WANT to have running. Thirdly, is to either let updatdb run, or start it manually - this is a db of every single file in your file system - when the db is kept up to date, then disk access is far faster overall. Alot of performance issues can be related to so many different things - so starting at the beginning and eliminating possibles helps to narrow down the field a bit.
