Slow Breezy on HP nx6125

Hi,
I installed Breezy x86 on an HP Compaq nx6125 and as far as I can see,
all hardware I care about was recognized just fine and works.
What gets me complaining though is the speed at which it does so. I know
that's a very unspecific complaint, but it describes my problem pretty
accurately: without even having X started watching a man page scroll in
line by line makes you think you're sitting in front of a Pentium 500
instead of a Sempron 3100 box. And after firing up startx I can easily
go make and drink a cup of coffee before it's actually ready for usage.
My nx6125 is an HP laptop sporting a Sempron 3100+ at 1800 Mhz, 256MB
RAM (32MB video), and an ATI Mobility Radeon X200M graphics chip.
The kernel I'm using is the standard Ubuntu 2.6.12-10-k7 kernel and I've
set up a 1GB swap partition.
I don't run any web or database servers or anything out of the ordinary
that might slow me down. What I'd like now would be a few suggestions
what could be reasons for a slow Breezy (or Linux in general) system.
Thanks,
Johannes
