Like OtherAdam, I can't reproduce; I did all that validation testing
from an installed copy of the live image (I installed it to a USB stick,
in fact, on a Dell Inspiron 6400, so it's not exactly a fast
environment, but it ran fine).
I agree with Adam - look for processes eating resources. I recommend
using htop (a much better top replacement) and iotop (which will let you
look for processes that are using the disk heavily).
Using top I found it is Xorg - taking up nearly 100% of CPU time . .
Is there some way to find out what it is about Xorg in particular?
Thanks,
Phil.
