[Koha] Koha glacially slow

[Aparrish]

Hey all, apologies for the long delay. I'm going to just respond in this
thread instead of cluttering with a new one. 
To recap, I have an older computer running a new Koha, and I just want to
make sure that there's no configuration problems before I go out and buy
better hardware with my tiny budget. It is too slow to use at present. 

Robin - 
Anything and everything is slow. And I mean in the technical sense, I guess
- the computer is communicating with the local server and trying to display
the next page while I am waiting. The "attempting to contact..." "waiting
for..." etc messages show up down in the corner. The slowdown starts as soon
as I type 127.0.1.1:8080 into the browser and go. 

Here, this is during an invalid login request (but it's the same speed with
the right data):

Sorry, that came out very poorly formatted, but mysqld is the next highest
item of interest. apache generally doesn't even make it onto this top page,
nor does zebra. So I guess the top ones are Koha perl scripts then? 

Unfortunately I don't have firefox installed at the moment, using iceweasel,
but if that data is important I'll go back and get that figured out. 

Also, one final thing. My Koha installation is text only. The html
formatting and visual elements are all missing. Is this a problem with my
installation, with the hardware requirements of the computer, or is this a
setting problem with Iceweasel? I haven't gotten to compare views in
different browsers yet, but I'll get on that. When I went through the
graphical installer for Koha I'm pretty sure I just checked all the default
options - is there a way to tell if a visual module didn't get installed? 

Thanks so much for all your help.
