More memory would definitely help. I have 2G in my laptop, and it is
much more responsive.
Extracted kernel sources consume about 300M of disk space, so the
system will try to use around 600M of cache (300M for reading, 300M
for writing) during the install phase of the kernel....and throw all
other cached pages away, including memory mapped files. This is
almost certainly what causes the delay in switching desktops
