Also on your sluggish machine: Are you running the correct video driver? Many computers come with Nvidia video cards. Ubuntu does NOT provide drivers for them because Nvidia does not release them open source. You have to install ubuntu and then activate the third party repositories. After that you are usually offered the correct drivers. If you upgraded the process is the same the third party repositories are not active.
