Vijay,
There is a whole lot you can do towards ensuring optimal performance of your x86 machine.
Ofcourse i will not launch into one of the RTFM posts. But if your machine has a lower configuration it would be wise to try out other lighter window managers of the likes of....

Gnome 2.2 seems to be quite resource hungry.

Vijay,
I m not sure, but may be linux in gui is much much resource hungry and due to shortage of ram swap space comes into the picture.
Swap access seems to be the problem.
