Try Debian Xfce, it's a way more stable and it use half memory than Xubuntu...

Look in "dmesg" and see what services are starting and what services you can eliminateBoot-Up Manager[Broken Link Removed]- adding the option "startpar" in /etc/init.d/rc- adding ureadaheah (sudo apt-get install ureadahead), the first startup will be slower but the others will be fasterhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89491

Probably the cheapest way to speed everything up is to buy more RAM and install it on your netbook. Having said that, try to avoid bigger programs like Open Office. If that doesn't work, try Lubuntu instead: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/lubuntu-lightweight-version-ubuntu-linux/It's lighter than Xubuntu.
