Thanks for the follow up. Most of my machines have 2GB RAM. I didn't
realize it, but when I ran free -m, I found there is only 1GB on this
machine. I think you're right. Feature/bloat creep?
thanks,
john

to show us your memory (in MB).
Run top, and type M, it will order by memory usage.
On my old computer, I was running xubuntu 15.04 with 2 GB ram and seeing
an obvious slow-down with FireFox, Thunderbird, and LibreOffice open
along with Dropbox and Insync.
Specifically, I was hitting swap memory pretty hard and experiencing a
noticeable lag on some apps after not using them in some time.
A great panel addition to use is xfce4-systemload-plugin to monitor what
is happening to your memory situation.
My takeaway is that xubuntu now probably needs 3 GB of ram.
Good luck,
Victor
