Even though I wanted to stay on 14.04 LTS I finally gave up, because it
turned out VAAPI was not working in Mythtv and Intel Graphics drivers are
not available for 14.04 anymore. After numerous failed attempts of distro
upgrade I ended up installing Ubuntu 15.04 from scratch.-(

Now it works (I just need to figure out some sound issues) but menu
navigation does not seem as quick as under Mythbuntu. So I am thinking if
there is anything I can shave off the install to make it snappier. Would a
different desktop environment help or is it more a question of programs and
services running in the background that are independent of the desktop?
