Can you describe the problem with more detail? Are you experiencing high CPU utilization? Are you swapping? Look at top to see if anything is eating CPU. Also use free -m to see your memory usage.

linux sluggish
hi
when i copied the memory usage from terminal it all ran together. it is:total mem=873, used=740, free=132 and it looks like its totally swapped out. it is most sluggish when i click on links, sometimes opening mail, sometimes it just hangs, and i have to force quit to get out of it...bob
