Asus Eee PC 1000 - Fast and responsive overall

I have an Asus Eee PC 1000, upgraded to 2Gb RAM.

Modified /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1  /           ext4    noatime,nodiratime,data=writeback,errors=remount-ro 0       1
UUID=....   /home  ext3    noatime,nodiratime,defaults        0       2


Only slowness I experience is with the desktop layout of the applications and files & folders.  When selecting either of these buttons from the launcher there is a 2-5 second delay (depending on how many apps and browser tabs I have open).

Otherwise everything is generally fast and responsive:

Tooltips show up instantly
Launcher moves very quickly when moving the mouse over
Scrolling the launcher by hovering mouse at either end can be a few milliseconds slower than very quick
The multiple windows view draws instantly when clicking on a launcher button 
The "quick selector" (Linux home / windows key) response very quickly - I use this the most
The Ubuntu menu (top left corner) displays okay, 1-2 seconds - I dont use this very much.

I added all the apps I mainly use to the left hand launcher in Unity, so
I dont have to go to the menu screen very often.  Otherwise I would find
the experience a little frustrating.

Once on the apps desktop menu, the menu itself is very responsive -
switching between categories of apps works very quickly.  Using the
search bar is also really quick and have been very impressed with this.

Thank you for all your efforts with Unity and Ubuntu in general.
