Sorry if I've missed a crucial part of the background to this problem, 
but...

Check if you're running any daemons or services that are not available 
on other OSs. I turn off sendmail, cups, anything else I don't use.

Also make sure the other OS is providing the same level of features, so 
you're comparing like with like. I have an ancient Win95 machine and it 
runs old apps acceptably, but struggles a bit with modern ones. I 
stopped dual booting it after I saw how slow FC1 was on it.
