[K12OSN] tuxpaint and others running slow

[gKw-X]

Alright, they don't have much money at all, so I don't want to spend it 
on something without knowing for sure. It couldn't be that my server is 
too slow? This happened with only one machine logged in, though many of 
them were booted up and sitting at the login screen. But only the one 
machine was being used.

Also, they have two labs, the main one is in the same room as the server 
and has 18 computers, the second lab has one cable running to it, which 
is then branched out to another 8 machines. So even if I get a gig 
uplink switch in the main lab, the machines in the second lab are going 
to still have this problem?
