SW2009 is unstable and slower than SW2008

I was excited to install SW2009 in our design office as Ithought it showed much better functionality.
As soon as it was installed it has caused many problems. It is:
Unstable - keeps crashing
Full of little bugs
Slow
Still Slow
Even Slower
Has graphics problems
Cannot do things as well as SW2008 without struggling

I think they got the claim wrong. it should be SW2009 is 65%quicker at giving up and crashing than SW2008.

I have the fastest 64bit laptop Dell can produce and 3 workstationswith 8gb memory and max'd out processors.

Has anyone elsoe had these problems.
My reseller support line has not been able to fix any of theserious problems.

Cheers
