I installed ubuntu 12.04 on a 30gb partition in my single hdd, it constantly freezes and slows down when I try to launch single applications, or even rename files
How do people use this crap? I copied 14gb of files to my desktop windows side, it took about 5-8 minutes. I copied the exact same files (drive to .local) through linux and it took over 3 hours. I have a 3570k @ 3.4, what's happening? Is there a way to check if there's a ram or cpu core limit for ubuntu to use at any given time?

There could be hundreds of reasons. Do you have proprietary drivers installed for an AMD or NVIDIA card? How fast does your drive benchmark? I could go on.
As for the "Windows transfers files faster" issue, the NTFS-3G driver for Linux is forgetstuff horrible and can only transfer up to 40MB/s irregardless of hardware. Use vFAT for a storage partition and use that to transfer files between Linux and Windows, it works much better in my experience.
Either way, I couldn't recommend Ubuntu to anyone at all. My experience with it is less than satisfactory. Mandriva and Fedora seem to be much better "user-friendly" Linux distros.

I can tell you from my Blue switches version that the back lighting is REALLY REALLY good.
