Sounds like your system could be sucking wind.  Have you looked at "top" to see 
what your top processes are in terms of CPU and memory usage before starting 
your simple GNU Radio application?  If something is currently eating up your 
CPU, everything is going to lag.  Given that things don't change on your build, 
I'm guessing it's your system.  Do you run something like compiz-fusion/XGL/etc?
