Thinking about downgrading

[idleone]

Hello Victor,
Why not try doing a clean install of 9.10 or 10.04?

Upgrading always leaves "stuff" behind and that may be why you are
experiencing a sluggish system.

I don't have any effects enabled and don't really need to; I like speed and stabiliy. The problem is that since 7.10, all new releases of Ubuntu seemed sluggish on this computer. It seems that everytime I upgrade it only gets worse. So I was thinking of installing 7.10, which worked without a problem.
