Ubuntu – How to improve Unity Performance

ubuntu-netbookunity

I installed ubuntu netbook edition on my netbook* expecting to get the best performance out of it, but apparently, that didn't turn out.
Unity is a bit slow on it, and when I click on Files and folders it takes a while to load the respective interface and the bar at the top disappears and then loads in.

Is this expected? Is there anything I can do to improve the performance? Is this problem specific to my netbook?


*Netbook info:
Acer – Aspire One
1.6 GHz Intel Atom Processor
1 GB RAM Memory
Intel GMA 950 graphics card

Installing Unity 2D might work better on your hardware, it's the supported fallback desktop.
