The slugishness has to do with insufficient cpu resources. I see from your other post that you're also running kazaa, which works on the same principle as Winmx. Your machine will have about half the speed from each program's perspective. In your winmx network settings lower the network bandwidth allowed or the search priority, this will cause fewer searches to be directed at your machine; it may also lower YOUR search results. In winmx it seems the bigger machine and internet pipe you have, the better. Which makes sense, and at least you're not penalized for it

I've never quite figured out what 'duty cycle' is, being a non-native english speaker I've never run across this before. 50% is obvious, but what does 80% duty cycle mean? 80 off or 20 off? Anyone?
