Tough to diagnose a subjective comparison. Can try turning
off any services you don't plan on using, or take a look at
some speed tuning I did here:
http://blogs.ydl.net/billdar/2007/08/08/ps3-performance-increase-tests/
For the fs kernel modules, you'll have to pull the kernel
source rpm and rebuild (start with the defconfig found in
/boot, modify to taste)
For video tips, it appears to be heavily dependant on your
TV. We've compiled a bunch of tips here under PS3 Audio/video:

Hope that helps.
