Either add another 256Mb of ram (or as much as you can) or run a small window manager like blackbox/fluxbox instead of gnome/kde. The partitions are odd, but that should not be the reason why your system is slow. One rule of thumb is to make a /home partition separate from / so that you can preserve /home when you upgrade/reinstall the system. /boot does not have to be a separate partition, but if it is, 100Mb is plenty of space. Some 10-15Gb should be enough for / /boot /var and swap combined. Give the rest to /home or /opt (for data). So a minimal partition scheme would be / 15Gb swap 1000 Mb (should be twice the size of RAM) /home the rest of the disk. Of course, the location of the different partitions on the disk does influence speed to some extent but speed is influenced far more by the amount of RAM.
