Since it's a laptop, your best bet if you want faster performance is to get a ssd hard drive.
That is the bottleneck on laptops. If you did get a faster cpu and somehow where able to install it, it would only decrease your battery life and not really improve your performance since the hard drive would still be the slowest part in your computer.

Go to youtube and type in x-25 ssd, you get an idea of what kind of speed increase you can get. They are more expensive but they are the only way to increase your boot times and file access on a laptop.

i think the problem is not the cpu speed but the onboard videocard.
