Poor laptop performance

Hi,

I'm using a Toshiba Satellite A10 with the 2.6.11-1.1261 kernel (just
updating now) and xorg-x11 6.8.2-27. Performance on it is terrible -
running yum update with a download of 80 packages (about 162 updates)
can take over 5 hours to download and install - it's really that bad.

When I run top, I'm finding X is using something like 129% MEM. CPU
usage ticks over at 0.7% (average).

Anyone else seeing this and moreover, is there anything I can do to
remedy the situation?

TTFN
