I just installed Xubuntu on my PowerBook G4 and uprgaded to 14.04. After fixing sound and video card issues I am asking to see if anyone has had any issue with cpu performance. When ever I watch video like youtube it peaks at 100% and becomes very slow. I know this hardware is almost 10 years old bbut I was hoping for a little better performance. Any help would be appreciated.
