My C6 is really really slow - and that makes the multitasking unusable. If you have some other device - and it is working quickly, than Ok, you are lucky man...
Those phones had a 434Mhz processor, no separate GPU and 128mb RAM and you're surprised that it was slow when multitasking

Symbian was genuinely multitasking, if you opened an app and navigated away from it without closing it then it was still running and still taking up resources, when you have piffling resources in the first place it's not long before you exhaust them. That's not Symbian's fault, in fact it's a bloody miracle Symbian could multitask on such miniscule resources.
