is surprisingly unresponsive compared to Windows. Launching programs can take 5-10 seconds (with no indication that anything is happening). Resizing a window sometimes resizes the frame and then takes a second to fill in the contents. Even the internet seems slow to respond.

Some of this might be due to the fact that Ubuntu is running off a physical hard drive while Windows was running off an SSD, but that doesn't seem sufficient to explain it.

I would have expected to get *more* performance without Microsoft constantly uploading data. Does this match anyone else's experience? Any ideas?

@peterdrake Imo, the difference between SSD and HDD really can be that huge.
