Cathy Buck, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

To advise, you would want to reinstall with a 64-bit OS to observe potential performance benefits via http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . Also, 32-bit is deprecated in favor of 64-bit.

Could you please test with a 64-bit OS and advise to the results?
