You didn't say how much RAM you had - remember that XWindows generally wants at 
leat 4X what MS does.  

Also, remember that if you've installed generic RedHat, you have a lot of 
debugging code and generic one-compile-runs-all stuff in X.  We have good 
reports on the effectiveness of compiling X and the kernel to get really nice 
improvements in efficiency.
