Hi there, I guess I have some information that may be helpful to get to the bottom of this problem.
I installed Xubuntu 8.04 on a laptop and everything (especially Firefox) worked fine. The next thing I did was to install a WLAN USB-stick using the following tutorial: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/91223/ WLAN now works, but the "slow application" problem appeared immediately (!) after installing the driver. If you take a look at this thread https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/210646 you will notice that Andrew had the same problem. I confirm that "sudo ifdown rausb0" makes the bug disappear. Unfortunately, the modifications the /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf did not work for me. Another interesting thing is that a ping to the DNS work fine, while "ping localhost" seems to freeze.
