Well,
As far as map change experience,mine are pretty much instant.But I'm on a dual 2.8 xeon w/ 2gigs of ram and 10,000 rpm hard drives so I got alot of room to play with on that end.A 2.4 celerson should be enough processing power for a decent 16-18 man full but like our other esteemed college said,256mb of ram may be hurting your performance.If you insist on keeping the DS on your laptop I would suggest upgrading your ram to at least 512,optimizing your O/S and putting a decent size swap file into play.But you will not get top notch performance off that laptop.But it will be playable you'll just have to wait a bit longer for map changes.

Thanks for responding,
I know it's not my slow hard-drive because it hardly ever touches it (virtually no hard-drive activity). I guessed it would only be the speed of my proc but I recall a very informative topic where the !minimum! requirements were said to be an 800 MHz for up to 8 players. I check out blackvipers as soon as I get home. But personally, I should think that 2.4 ghz should be more than enough... what are the requirements for a 1.6 CS DS (up to 10 players)? And what is your experience with map changes?
Micha
