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.

Ralf
