I've been running openSUSE 12.1 on a similar system up until a few
weeks ago (AMD 64 6400+, a 3.2GHz system vs a 2.4GHz, otherwise pretty
much identical) and haven't had any slowdown issues at all. I wonder
if there are not other issues at work here - I can run openSUSE 12.1
on a 1.6GHz Atom CPU with 2GB or RAM and it runs reasonably well (I
say reasonably well to be realistic... it is not as fast as my
desktop, but it is still very responsive and usable.. a LOT better
than Windows 7 on the same hardware) for as long as I leave it booted
up.  I can even play full screen videos (not at 1080p of course) with
no issues.
