Incredibly slow computer

Since crashing my usual Macbook, I've been using my old 17" PowerBook G4 as a temporary. It works fine except that it's incredibly slow. The only thing I do is web surf, eBay/Pelican/craiglist/facebook/news sites/banking/etc...

It has OS X 10.5.8, which I know is old but why would nit not work the way that it used to, with the same OS? I checked for updates and installed them all. When I'm typing this text right now, there is a 1-2 second delay between any keystroke and the text appearing on the screen. Same with any other command, fetching photos and the like.

Any quick-fixes I can try? TIA.
