Latency of keystrokes. I press the key and the feedback is oo so slow.

In my case it's TTS feedback, not on screen, but same principle. Both
machines have the exact same TTS board (ISA) and software drivers, both
running FC4, but this was also true FC 3.

The 348Mb box is snappy. I press [char], I hear [char] echoed out the
TTS. On the slow machine, I would warrant there's a delay of hundreds of
ms. Not measured, but I'd warrant on the order of 400-700 ms.
