    Fedora is pokey; Did I do something wrong?

    I installed Fedora (first using a custom app install, but it was HORRIBLY slow), so I tried a basic, no options install. Opening up configuration panels is slower than I can deal with (takes a minute flat to open up Network), while with Ubuntu, it's only a few seconds.

    Is there something wrong with Fedora, or is it a processor hog?

    x86 requirements:
    Recommended RAM for graphical: 256MiB
    Recommended for graphical: 400 MHz Pentium II or better

    Other than that, it's not supposed to be horribly slow. (Is it Fedora 8 ?)
