Not right now (can't move from home right now, no blank dvds/cds
around). However, I HAD tried a live CD before install (now borrowed
from a friend) and it was just as slow, if not slower. Back then I
didn't bother too much for slowness, thinking "once installed for real
it will go faster", because I only wanted to be sure that it would
recognize all the hardware.

My experience with the live systems is that stuff is slower to boot and
programs are slower to start up (obviously - the CD/DVD drive is much
than a hard drive) but once a program is in memory, it functions just
as fast as with a disk-based system.
Do you have any mem/disk errors logged in /var/log/messages?
Are you able to run a memory test? (eg memtest86)
