256M is a bit on the low side, as Unix will take up as much of your RAM as possible for Virtual Memory and other neat stuff. with a Unix OS, I would have at least 512M.
Of course, it may also have something to do with the I/O - is the external machine that house the OS connecting to the machine via Firewire or USB? Also is the drive a slower drive (i.e. a 5400 rpm instead of 7200 rpm)?

And why would you need virtual memory unless you are really straining your Legacy Mac ?
We had that discussion last week !
