As people already stated, the fault is not with the Linux kernel. The things you describe might be because of X, disabled DMA on disks, poor drivers and so on and so forth. Especially enabling DMA gives a nice overall boost to everything if it isn't enabled. Though, I don't know any recent distro which doesn't enable DMA by default..
