On what basis? What are you comparing it against? Is there some rough benchmark that you can give us to indicate what you expected? What was the actual result? What in particular was slow?

Tell us about your hardware (and your 'other' hardware/OS if applicable): memory, CPU, disk interface, number of disks, layout of database files, networking, etc.

What's it written in? What does it do - queries or OLTP? Does the application make use of server side procedures? How many users? Have you seen it perform on configuration xyz and it's been better? Got any benchmarks? How much data do you have? Can you compare an operation from the application against an operation run at the server with SQL*Plus?

... would depend on the answers to the above. Was the database tuned before you put it on Linux?
