Can anybody suggest what I can do to speed this thing up. I have 1 GB RAM, if i increase it to 2 GB would that help ?
Please do not say buy a Mac Book pro

First let me ask... sounds like you shut down/restart the MacBook in between using it? Is there a particular reason why you don't just let it go to sleep?
You can check login items for your account in the Accounts section of System Preferences. If you have a lot of stuff starting up there, it can take time. Also check with Activity Monitor whether you have a lot of stuff running right after logging in. Also check empty space on your drive. If you only have a few GB, make some room. Mac OS X loves empty space. Upgrading to 2GB will probably help too.
