You most certainly have something bogging down the system.
Agreed, and I still don't think anyone has enough information to know what it is, except for the OP.
Linux still rocks on old equipment once you disable the cpu and memory
hogs. I don't really see the need for killing gnome.
It all depends on how you want to use your time. If you want to re-tweak your system with every new release, I suppose that's one option.
If you want a solution that doesn't depend on constantly proving your Linux manhood, consider:
1. A light-weight desktop, or
2. Newer equipment.
As things are going, only (2) will keep you in the swim with all the latest bells and whistles.
