Some of the very very latest versions are a massive amount faster, but
I know the feeling for older boxes.

If you're not running Ximian, you can still do it. 

If the machine is yours and no other users (that you need to worry
about :)) will be affected, just remove the nautilus package.

Failing that:

RH's beta (which presumably stops being beta soon) gives you the
option on an upgrade. Dunno about a fresh install.

Or: 

	   control-center
	-> startup programs
	-> browse currently running programs
	-> select nautilus, keeping an eye on the box at the top
	-> note 'normal' becomes 'respawn' when you select it
	-> change it to 'normal' again
	-> select 'remove' (delete, whatever)

Poof! It gone. For that user. If you have multiple systems/accounts,
it's not so hot, of course.
