Probably because you are using a bloated desktop manager like kde or gnome. You will see a great improvement is responsiveness if you switch to fvwm2 or something like blackbox.
I do not think it is true. I use Kde3 and Gnome1.4 at the same time, but Linux remains faster than Windows XP on my machine. Moreover, I used to have both Kde3 and Gnome 1.4 running at the same time, with kmail, ten konquerors, 5 mozillas, xine whatching some movie, displaying kvirc (which was actually running in another computer), 2 java programs, and I cant remember what else I had running, and my system was still perfectly usable. Maybe it's something with its configuration, but how could we tell it without further information?
