I have an Acer Aspire Revo R3600 (Intel Atom 230 1.6GHz, 1GB etc.) running Ubuntu 10.10. Its a completely clean Ubuntu install and the first thing I have done is install XBMC following this script (as per the wiki):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc
sudo apt-get update
I started up XBMC and it is unusably slow. The cursor is unresponsive and there are 10-20 second from pressing a cursor to something moving. Also, the RSS feed is almost at a standstill. Clearly the whole thing is just going slow (although the first part of launch is fast enough.
I have previous installed Ubuntu and XBMC on two much old PCs and they work perfectly well. I have barely done anything on the Acer - how can I have got it so wrong?
Any advice on where to start trying to fix this?
Many thanks,
