Whenever I run an app with a GUI it barely runs. I can take Firefox as an example, Starting it is fine but whenever I visit a website that requires scrolling its incredibly slow. I started with Openbox and tried switching to xmonad but both has the same problem. The specifications of the computer is 1ghz cpu, 1gb memory and a savage gpucard. Ive tried both Vesa and Savage video drivers with the same results. Anyone who had a problem like this and know how to solve it?

Do you configure X manually with xorg.conf? I've found two examples for a xorg.conf in the wiki:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IBM … d_T23#Xorg
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IBM … d_T21#Xorg
While they seem a little bit dated (xorg 1.5) and are probably not for your machine, it may be worth trying some of the ideas.
With respect to Firefox, I found that disabling the smooth scrolling feature (Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> General) brought me some speed increases on older graphics cards.
