I have the following specifications:

Memory: 3 Gb  
Processor: Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz × 4 (32 bit)  
Available disk space: 271 gib  
Kernel Linux 3.5.0-17-generic  
GNOME 3.6.0

I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 and it runs really slowly. Is it a software or a hardware problem? Should I use a 12.04 or 11.10-04 instead to increase performance?

im having the problem, i just installed it, and my netbook is running very slow, all programs run slow, firefox everything is slow, i installed previous versions of ubuntu before, but never had this problem, everything was very smooth, i dont really think this is a hardware problem since, i have read a lot of people having the same issue with this version.

As an owner of Q6600 CPU I'd like to answer.

Ubuntu 12.10 works very slow if you try to use it out-of-the-box.

Seems like Unity interface requires much more performance / proper video drivers in order to run fast.

To solve this problem you must try to install proprietary graphics drivers for your video card.

Installing nvidia-current solved performance problem for me. (GTX560Ti)
