I'd put my money on the video driver. For nVidia Ubuntu (like most
distros) has switched from the old "nv" driver to the "nouveau" driver
as their open source driver of choice. When Ubuntu 10.04 was new the
nouveau driver still had issues, and I recall reading a lot of
complaints about speed.

I would see if I could get the latest version of the nouveau driver as
my first course of action. If that doesn't help, try the nVidia
proprietary driver. If you have enabled the Medibuntu repository the
nVidia driver should be available in Synaptic or apt-get.
