Very good point! Now I haven't had any slow downs as such, so don't know about it personally. Is it possible for you to describe them?
Is it taking say 1 minute, 10s etc for the browser to open? Is it 50% slower? What is slower? Does the call quality go into the drugged slow motion effect?

What happens as far as I know on a linux system is that the system caches a lot of things into RAM, say you use the albums a lot to show pics to your mates. And since all the data is in RAM the pics load faster, but say you want to flick through all your mp3s, then linux kicks out the cached pics, and starts caching the mp3s, so that you can flick through them. The slow downs are transient, a bit like a DSG gearbox ;-)
