Slowliness that shouldn't happe

Hello,
I think I have a fast computer, it is an IBM T60, that means an Intel Core Duo 
running at 1828.753 with 2GB of RAM, SATA HD, etc.
Yet, I perceive some slowness. Some come from how X is configured I believe. 
The board is "ati" and the driver is "fglrx". I have a dual-head setup and 
the X config is attached (just in case someone sees something missconfigured 
there).
There other slowness comes when booting. The Kubuntu splash screen 
shows "Mounting root filesystem(s)" and if I press alt-f1 I see the last 
message was "Uncompressing kernel" or something like that. I can check to 
have more accurate details if needed. It stays there for a minute or so and 
then boots normally.
Thank you.
