Doesn't help with the bloated web and local webapps, though. Also, you'll need to choose from a set of desktop environments that were made with lower resource usage in mind. Also don't forget that while linux is often faster, a slow drive is still a slow drive and it can help only so much if you keep your OS and heavyweight software on a HDD.
