My impression is, that response time is **always** slow.
Thanks to you, I now know how to set/monitor CPU frequency. Setting this 
to maximum improves things somewhat, but
I have the feeling, that it is still considerably slower than it was 
under 9.04.
For example:
move cursor over one menu item (e.g., "setting") and then to another 
item (e.g. "system"): it takes 4-5 seconds for the second menu to display.
OpenOffice blank document: max -> min / min->max (size): 3-4 seconds
change input method English-> Japanese (pretty fast, appr. 1 sec.), but 
Japanese->English 2-3
etc.
I just tried the "System Monitor" thing. Here too, clicking on a menu 
item or switch between items takes several seconds to produce a response.
As far as I can tell the "%CPU" is for all processes "0".

So, almost **every** operation requires a signficant amount of time.
Under 9.04 I did not take any notes about that, because response time 
never made me wish it would be faster ...

If this is considered normal for the given combination of hard/software 
... my apologies for being so nervous.
If this is NOT normal ... I would like to know, if there is anything 
that can be done about it.
That's all there is to it.
