Yes, it's true.. netbooks are pretty slow. But most people who do buy netbooks don't tend to expect high performance, but rather purchase them for mobility, size and battery life. This is the same reasons I use a netbook. I upgraded my netbook from 1 to 2g ddr3. It does improve performance slightly. I find I am able to have more windows and applications open without it lagging too much..
I run a dual boot system running openSUSE linux and windows 7. I mainly use linux to write script or configure servers and routers.. I use Windows to check email and browse the web. Nothing to intensive; very basic stuff. It's more than enough. So when people tell you to get a real notebook.. you can tell him to fuck off.. lol jk. It's all about form and functions and what it applies to. =)
If I wanted to run network simulations or play games I probably wouldn't be using my netbook for that..
There are always things you can do to tweak the performance; many of them have already been listed.
Have fun with it.
