;) 

That is my most used agenda view. It shows my appointments and I use it
every time I make an appointment. My machine is a little bit faster than
yours:

model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual  CPU  T2390  @ 1.86GHz

The agenda view could be faster, of course, especially if a customer is
at the phone for an appointment and you have to scroll back and forth a
few times. But it works.
