I got a new Asus Eee PC 1025C Flare (Intel Atom, 2GB RAM) so I loaded Ubuntu 13.04 on a flash drive and tried to boot from there. And it was SLOW. it takes about 10 seconds to load the dashboard, and even longer to do anything else.
I tried tweaking it using compizconfig, but it's still slow. I can't do a full install yet because the laptop is still under the 1-week-factory-defect warranty. Will Ubuntu still be this slow once I do a full install? Should I use X/Lubuntu instead? (I'd rather not since I quite like Unity)
ps: I have some experience with Ubuntu; I used it on a bigger laptop and I love it. The Windows Starter that came with the laptop is running fine, but I'd rather have Ubuntu with this thing.
