[GRLUG] Ubuntu Laptop Still Slow

[Jorge La]

WOW, I think I'm going crazy. Because these % on top dont seem possible.
Sometimes top is at 50%, Xorg is always at about 50% or higher, and when I
run Gnome System monitor, it runs at 82%.

I miss my 300mhz celeron laptop with 256 RAM. It ran linux so nice. :(
