A couple of things that worked for me:

1.  switched to netscape 3.04 (from 4.x)
2.  switch from E, first to blackbox and now sawmill
3.  use a sensible gtk theme  (ThinIce is a good one)

I think an effort is made to keep things sensible...

It could be your X server.  I got very depressed when I had to not
use my Matrox card for a while.  The XFree86 drivers for them are
pretty good.

But it is kind of hard to say why.  What things are slow?  Just general
sluggishness?
