I don't know if this is related or should be a separate bug, but here goes.
The raw performance of the CPU seems to be quite sub-optimal. As a very very very simple an arbitrary benchmark I run the following on every machine I own:- time perl -e 'for($i=0;$i<1e8;$i++) { }' On my core2duo desktop at 2.66GHz takes about 6 seconds. Friends of mine have tested (repeatedly) and a 1.8Ghz core2duo takes about 10 seconds, so I would expect my 2.0GHz core2duo laptop to take somewhere between the two. Instead it takes 20 seconds. This is consistent whatever is currently running, booted to a console or into X. http://hants.lug.org.uk/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?HugoRandomBenchmark shows some comparisons. Yes, I know it's no benchmark, but it is a good quick gauge of raw cpu performance.
