When I go into the system monitor program, where it gives me a list of running prgrams, there are only two programs that are using system resources constantly, they are gnome system monitor (the program I am using to view the stats), and X. X is reported as using 79.6m of memory, and with regard to %cpu, all I have to do is use the scoll bar on any particular window, and the %cpu figure goes up from 4% to nearly 50% without doing anything else. Just moving the scroll bar! System monitor does the same thing, but uses less cpu%, but between the two, moving a scroll bar uses up 50%+26% = 76%.
Everything else is using 0% cpu, and much smaller ammounts of memory. Total memory usage stats are 236m of 249 (with the system just loaded and my email program open, and system monitor, and swap usage = 0 of 2.1 gig. So it is not using the swap yet, but still running very slow.
