Get more RAM - lots of it. 1GB is borderline to unusable (KDE + a few
apps running).
Don't even think about image processing or running virutal machines.

I personally still manage with 2GB, but an upgrade to at least 4GB is
on my to-do list.

My system are slow when I am using ICEWM, I know that KDE 4 need more
"power" to run. It can`t only be a ram problem!!

you might also try LXDE perhaps? I read that it is supposed to use the least amount of memory of the different desktop environments
