No. Some hints, though: Use top to locate the process eating up your processing time. It will be located -surprise-near the top. If you're doing graphics, use sensible graphics modes: 8bit color depth causes gimp to be a real PITA, especially with slower CPUs. systat displays statistics similiar to top. Check if you got enough real RAM in your box. df may check for filled up disc slices. Any disk usage above 95% will slow down your machine considerably. As always, man is your friend.
