Depends.
By default the 2.6.x kernels are faster.
But, Debian is getting a bit whacked right now during the rush to release (yeah right... probably 3-5 months away) that some things are being done that may slow down you machine.
hdparm is a good thing to install for the 2.6.x kernel. Turning on DMA and 32-bit access and mult-sec transfers.
Also, look at what is being loaded as far as modules... sometimes things are getting loaded you don't want. Personally I am deleting all IPV6, OpenSoundSystem (OSS) and some AGP modules. I then usae alsa for sound (default in 2.6) Then I start looking at other things just running.
You might be a bit memory starved.

Perhaps you need to kill all the *IDLE* processes?

Personally:
You will have lotsa modules now with 2.6.
But all depends on what is there. I nuke ipv6 modules (they are re-installable) and OSS (open sound system) and some agp stuff as my nvidia stuff dunnah like agpgart or via_agp
There is a blacklist of modules you never want loaded at startup. Hotplug and discover will load eveyrthing under the blooming sun right now. Blacklists for each one :)... Fun eh?

Welcome to we-be-a-ninnie.
Peter, how many times have you Grouched at me for compiling a kernel?
Peter, are you telling me *YOU* compiled a NON-STOCK kernel then?
FOR SHAME.... FOR SHAME!

...
Everytime I compiled a kernel YOU said something on the order of: Nobody needs to compile a kernel for a "Home" system e-var, you stupid Colonial Twit. Those kinds of comments stick in ones memory a bit longer.

You're thinking of someone else.
And it's "illiterate colonial baboon", you illiterate colonial baboon.
