I use an Athlon 1.2GHz 768MiB machine, ATI Radeon 7000/VE, F11 EXT4, 
and it's fine for speed.  Others report success with much slower CPUs.

The only really slow thing was the SELinux relabel on first (and 
second) boot.  I haven't felt any other slowness after my upgrade from 
F9, or today's separate installation from the F11 Live CD.

So, look for some other problem.  Bad Xorg video mode in /var/log/
Xorg.0.log?  `top` shows heavy load?  (I keep the Gnome System Monitor 
applet in my top panel for a quick overview.)
