telnet login and ftp too slow

I am running YDL2.1 on my 7200/120 serving telnet, ftp, and apache
httpd. The telnet login to the server is really slow even from another
machine on my LAN to it (also from outside the network in the same way).
It pauses after contacting the machine for around half a minute then
finally displays the login prompt.

FTP slows the same way telnet does, it pauses for around half a minute
then lets me log in, and after that, changing directories and listing
files is really slow.

Is this an internal network problem, lack of configuration, lack of
sufficient RAM (I have 144MB, or whatever the power of two is in that
area), or just plain lack of CPU power?

How can I speed it up?
