When I run " apt-cache show lubuntu-core" on my stable Raring it lists the recommends as;
"acpi-support, avahi-daemon, bluez, bluez-alsa, bluez-cups, cups, cups-bsd, cups-client, fonts-kacst-one, fonts-khmeros-core, fonts-lao, fonts-lklug-sinhala, fonts-sil-abyssinica, fonts-sil-padauk, fonts-takao-pgothic, fonts-thai-tlwg, fonts-tibetan-machine, hplip, kerneloops-daemon, laptop-detect, libnss-mdns, pcmciautils, policykit-desktop-privileges, printer-driver-c2esp, printer-driver-foo2zjs, printer-driver-min12xxw, printer-driver-ptouch, printer-driver-pxljr, printer-driver-sag-gdi, printer-driver-splix, ttf-indic-fonts-core, ttf-punjabi-fonts, ttf-ubuntu-font-family" I'm not sure how great of an impact that would actually have on performance other than using a bit more disc space.
