[ubuntu] Ubuntu 13.04 on 2010 MacBook Pro: Multiple problems, extremely sluggish

Live session worked fine, but when I began installing Ubuntu, problems began. The installation step that removes packages was very, very slow. After installing I must use "noapic" to even get into the desktop. I'd like to install Wi-Fi and NVIDIA driver, but running apt-get update and applying updates was extremely slow (unpacking linux-headers-xxx seemed to take forever so I just gave up after 45 minutes). Launching Firefox takes ages. The machine has Core 2 Duo, but only one core is shown in /proc/cpuinfo. My hard drive is an SSD and works fine on OS X (I dual-boot using rEFIT). Well, this was more a rant than a question, but if anyone else has had similar problems, feel free to share information.
