If you want speed, it's hard to go wrong with Slackware, Arch, or 
Debian, avoiding KDE and Gnome both.  Several Slackware derivatives 
(Zenwalk, Vector, & Salix) make Slackware a little easier to use.  The 
same is true for Arch (Manjaro & ArchBang).  If you want to stay with 
something more like Ubuntu, but lightweight, go with my earlier 
suggestion of Bodhi Linux; it's based on Ubuntu but uses the 
Enlightenment window manager, which looks very nice.
