Not having seen many mac users troll, I'll attempt to give you some
advice.

Try telling us exactly what you mean by feels slower. Is it that the
network is slower, the screen slower, the h/d slower, what?

Have you looked in your logs to see if there are any problems being
reported?

Is it just a particular program that is slow?

How much memory have you got in your system and what is your graphics
card?

Does it boot slower? Which is something that I know is not true on
multiple hardware that I have seen dual boot between windows and linux
(many distro's).
