It's a bit on the low side; and I fear the only proper noticeable improvement for you would be an upgrade most likely.

What you could do, if you're unfamiliar with hardware is run this command in the Terminal.
Code:
sudo lshw -short >> hwinfo.txt
You can post the contents of that txt file here, it should be in your home directory. We might be able to help a little more directed.
OP here, and yes I'm reviving this a bit because it's relevant.

A) I can't find that command anywhere. I'm probably doing something wrong, but it's not on my machine as far as I can tell, and putting it into the Yum GUI interface doesn't find it.

b) Phanx very kindly sent me a video card that's much better than the one I had. Unfortunately, while it's slightly improved my running FPS, it hasn't done anything (as far as I can tell) to reduce the amount of time I freeze as I switch zones.

c) We swapped to FiOS (for various reasons), and at the same time I got a slightly faster router between my machine and our house net. This hasn't produced any changes either.

With Cladhaire bowing out of addon coding, is it worth swapping to some other location addon? *is* there another like TomTom? I've not noticed anything talking about changing what they integrate with...

Thanks for trying.
