However, even when I don't have a video card installed, I still
experience slowness. Even when the only program I run is
gnome-system-monitor, I reach about 45%.

Whatever is changing is not for the better. In the feisty days, I
could run many things all under 4%. Gutsy under 20%. and now Hardy
100%.
