Lubuntu 16.04 LTS has, indeed, passed its End of Public Support, as per its own blog: Lubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) Released! says "Lubuntu 16.04 LTS will be supported until April 2019, with three years of support."
Therefore, suggest you follow this procedure to upgrade the supported Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with the new LXQt desktop.
And, the classic answer to how to get an OS to run faster is to remove packages, add more RAM, and/or replace the 4200 RPM PATA (aka IDE) drive with a faster PATA drive SSDs do exist.
