    It sounds like you are responding to something, but there doesn't seem
    to be any clue as to what in your mail headers.

    KDE is quite chunky, especially if you turn all the cute things on (such
    as semi-transparent, fading menus). You'll also suffer a performance hit
    if you clog up your RAM with servers and other processes you don't need.

    You should also look at your graphics drivers, e.g. you'll get much
    better performance with X11 configured to use an optimised driver then a
    generic VESA one.
