Id like to mention  the following,
that the various later versions  of Linux really are slower.
 
Ive a p3 850 thinkpad( A21P) with 512 megs of ram running a dual boot 
with win 98se.
 and slackware 10. This was installed some 4 yrs ago and has been 
flawlless over this time.
 I use as my browser Opera 9.0
 This latter combination is fast on this "relatively" old linux distro 
and laptop.
 I had a Dell latitude C840 come my way recently, its a p4 1.6gig intel 
mobile chip with 1gig of ram.
Same size screen 15.1  on both,  running 1600 by 1200 res. ( take the 
same screen)!!
I put on the last version of Ubuntu with the latest version of Opera
This was in anticipation of  a much improved? experience both with 
Ubuntu and Opera.
 Would you believe it?
 It is not the case!!
 My P3 Thinkpad is coinsistently faster both in Slackware  and Opera usage.
I amat a loss to know why.
 Anyone have any suggestions?

were not talking about build quality  where the 7yr old Thinkpad beats 
the Dell hands down.
just  the overal software performance.
