I believe that xfce4.2 is now available in Ubuntu. It provides similar functionality to KDE but is much lighter and faster. I'm surprised you say it's slower than OSX; like for like on a G4, I reckon that KDE responds quicker than OSX here. Any chance of adding more memory? Is the swap partition big enough?
