System Settings > Software & Updates > Additional Drivers Tab "Using X.Org X server..." must be selected. Select one of the others. A loading bar will be displayed. When it loads you will see a black screen. Then you will see the Ubuntu 14.10 screen. Reset the computer. If it's still slow choose one of the other drivers.

  • Using other graphics drivers will not speed up application startup times.
