How can I improve overall system performance?

As stated in the title, I want to know how can I repair my existing OS, Ubuntu 12.10.
It seems to be very slow, earlier I installed it along side Windows XP (32-Bit) at that time it was working fine. But now its very slow. And I've removed Windows XP.

Is there any way I can repair it? Or I've to re-install it completely?

Features of my PC:

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.20 E4500
Motherboard: ASUS P5KPL-AM
RAM: 2GB
GPU: Nvdia GeForce 9500 GT 512MB

    Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! What exactly is slow? The bootup process, starting a certain application, graphics, etc. Also include more details about what the bottleneck might be. Start by running System Monitor to see if some application is using all resources. – gertvdijk Jan 18 '13 at 23:44
  • Bootup process and loading of applications is slow. As for application, when I click the icon, after 4-5 seconds it loads up. – Cryptic-Lad Jan 20 '13 at 09:35
