After installing the latest version of kubuntu on my thinkpad,
it started out working fairly well, but performance gradually
deteriorated horribly. I've tried every "fix" I could find on
the net, but every time I get something fixed, something else
goes haywire. Many things to like about kubuntu
Standard system troubleshooting would be a good place to start. What is
your IO and CPU like? Are you swapping to disk a lot? Do you have any
obvious errors in /var/log/messages? Do some of your processes consume an
inordinate amount of memory? etc etc

My system is a Thinkpad with 1.8
Maybe I'm not understand what your looking for, however free and top will show
you how much swap you are using.
