What are your computer's specs? It might be better to install Lubuntu instead. – TheWanderer Apr 16 '15 at 01:17

Depends , speed is subjective and many issues contiibute to "slow" most result when running poorly supported hardware. I would start by purchasing a computer with Ubuntu pre-installed. – Panther Apr 16 '15 at 03:02

There are a few ways you can try to speed it up. The one I would most recommend is to replace the Unity environment with GNOME. To do this:

Install MATE desktop by running this in Terminal: sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment.
Once it's done installing, log out. There should now be a gear icon in the top right corner of the password area.
Click this gear and select the MATE desktop environment before logging in.
