Ubuntu v Fedora on an Inspiron

[was Re: burning iso image on a Mac]

I'm just starting to play around with Linux. A couple of days ago, I  
installed Ubuntu on my Inspiron 7500. When I switch from one  
application to another by clicking (say) on a Firefox window when Help  
is in the foreground, it takes many seconds before the newly selected  
application is available and the screen properly refreshed. I'm  
planning on installing Fedora. Is it likely to be any faster?

Thanks,
