And yes, slick high pressure tires for your mountain bike will make the pedalling much easier. Discount stores like Performance sell them for $10 to $15 each. Look for something rated at least 80psi (26x1 or 26x1.25).
Ditto that. I put 90psi 26 x 1.25" tires on my mountain bike, and it turned into a speedy, comfortable commuter. I was covering about 40 miles every day.
