Hey,
  This doesn't sound normal at all, for comparison I have:
  (Reading database ... 137921 files and directories currently installed.)
  This takes about 15-20 seconds to read on a 2GHz/2GB RAM though it

It's absurd to compare a modern machine like yours to an almost-
antique like his.

does thrash the HDD.
  I use 'atop'
to look at the hdd usage amongst other things. With the right kernel patches it can show live disk and network usage per process. It's basically a root run,
binary logging 'top' with more features.

I agree.  The key is PIII 700MHz and then the line:

<<< It then proceeded:
< 316137 files and directories currently installed.)

If you have, but do not need, updates from src repositories, edit /etc/apt/sources.list accordingly. This may help a little.
