what programs are you running at startup? please give a listing of
the output from '/sbin/chkconfig --list' and of your /etc/rc.d 
directories. I might also ask you what SCSI settings you have
and the output of /proc/interupts etc - but firstly i have to say that 
CSPPPC_SCSI is still under development and there may be issues speed
related and that if you ARE using the framebuffer, then you will have
slow speeds with X - and memory usage.

I might also ask if you are using the AGA chips at all? If not, you can 
get better system BUS respsonses by adding video=amifb:off to the 
bootstrap line - which allows the higher speed mode to be running
