Mathematica v6: Slower in the following fields

I installed v6, but had to return to 5.2 since  - for some works I was
doing - the new version has become unacceptably slow. Now I changed my
mind and I keep both versions on, depending on what I have to do.

I'd like to start this thread to see people post their observations
about what has become slower in v6 - and of course what is faster too!

e.g. some posts ago I saw somebody having problems with eigenvalues
calculations.

My problems, just to start, relate to graphics. Dealing with large
images with ListContourPlot, for example, is really slower (had to
kill the calculation). And ListDensityPlot is barely acceptable.

So... please, add your experience here!
