Make ubuntu a bit faster

Update: Using “openbox” would be much faster than the “metacity” settings as in this post, see Replace Metacity with Openbox in this page

Found this tip somewhere in ubuntuforums, simply press alt-f2, type gconf-editor, then on the left navigate to apps > metacity > general then on the right check the “reduced resources” check box.

For those who want their ubuntu computer fast, responsive. Remember to turn-off the visual effects in apperance preferences for best speed.
