That leaves just the hardware.

I again suggest that you check the hardware, especially the RAM.

Leopard requires a lot more memory than Tiger.

No, it really doesn't.

That probably depends on the configuration. I installed Leopard on my
867 MHz, 1.2 GB RAM Quicksilver. It takes significantly more RAM than
did Panther (never did Tiger). I can only run maybe 2/3 of the apps
simultaneously as I used to under Panther. I am still comfortable but I
do find myself, now and then, quitting least-used apps in order to gain
in performance. Right now I'm running 6 major apps with a bunch of
stuff in the background and the performance is excellent with better
speed than in Panther. Not bad at all for a computer of this vintage.
But if I wanted to run Excel right now, I'd have to drop something else.
