I Recommend you Try Speeding Up Your Unity Interface by following these steps that i have posted in another thread:
To Speed Up Unity Follow Here:
- Open A Terminal Window (CTRL T) Or Search Terminal In Unity
Type In The Following:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
Close Your Terminal
Goto Unity Search And Type In:
Compiz
Click Compiz
First Click Opengl Plugin
Take A Screenshot Before You Do Any Changes!!!
Change The Following
Uncheck Sync To VBlank And Change the Dash Blur To No Blur
Then See if This Made Unity A bit Faster!
If it made unity faster and you are satisfied, Close Compiz
if Not you can try a couple other tweaks
Click back At The Bottom Then Click Composite
Take Another Screenshot
Then Uncheck The Option Detect Refresh Rate
Then Click Back And Go Into Unity
Take Another Screenshot
Then Change The Following Option
Change: Dash Blur To No Blur
Then Close Compiz
If there was an issue during your installation or you have problems with Unity or anything, Use the screenshots you took to restore your Settings.
Enjoy!
