As David Said, it may be networking. I just did a 7.3 install and although it detected everything and ran fine, it was very slow. I finally traced it down the the WRONG network card driver being installed (assumed) during install, and it had heaps of errors. Once I installed the correct driver, it worked great. In my case a simple check with "ifconfig" told me I had networking errors (High error count on the eth0 interface). You may want to look into something similar.
