Well, I do my most of my work and email over ssh sessions. And while web

Badly optimized OpenSSH build perhaps?

Entirely possible. Considering that the local rdesktop variant didn't
manage to do anything except crash 2 seconds after login, there's
probably lots of buggy things in the default distro. I'm sure all the
software-related faults can be cured by installing something else. I'm
most disappointed about the nonresponsive keyboard, as I was assured it
would be more than OK, and the annoyingly loud fan which I certainly did
not expect. These are the real killers of joy. Instead of getting a
device which could double as a text editing tool and e-book reader, I
now have one that's suitable for neither.

Or swapping like crazy?

It shouldn't be, with 1 Gb of memory.

interactive shells generally make a high-latency internet connection a lot
more obvious than browsing where bandwidth is more important.

Can't blame the connection speed, really, since the same speed suffices
for normal work on my other laptop.
