How can I improve overall system performance?

I am using ubuntu 12.04. I am experiencing a severe delay(about 20 to 30 secs, sometime about a minute) in applications getting started after clicking on it. For example,

  • Opening home holder(nautilus)
  • Opening firefox, chrome
  • Opening a media file with VLC
  • Opening a simple text file with gedit/geany

There has been no installation of any third party software in past one month, just the normal Update manager has run. Don't know why the response time of applications to start has been effected.

Is there any way I could speed up this on my machine? Please let me know if there are any tweaks I could do.
