I do enjoy stability and will take the time and effort to get what I
want out of software and hardware.
like the Windows GUI - they all feel like Nanny GUI's to me... ;-)
I think one of the reasons that apparently nobody is interested in
improving Linux' desktop speed is that many of the developers have
different priorities. Fortunately for me, they're pretty much in
agreement with my own priorities, so

Try this:
find the PIDs of your X-server, your window manager, and your file
manager.
After X-Windows starts, for each PID, run as root:

One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is what else have you got running?
If it's a usual dist, you've probably got a dozen services starting by

I'd have to agree here. My personal Workstation runs:

Myth #1 - Stability. Linux is a more stable OS then windows (2000/XP).

true enough, UNLESS you're talking about desktop Linux ie: KDE or Gnome.
