I'm finding Gnome 3.2 to be much more responsive than Gnome 2.3.
Everything starts a lot faster, especially terminals and Chrome.

Anything less than a P4 would be essentially useless for viewing web

slow to run the most recent Iceweasel, it takes forever just to load
GMail. Chrome is fine, of course.
