GUI response
============

As you may know, I have got a new computer - the brand new GPD Pocket laptop.
It has quad-core Atom processor and it runs the Ubuntu with the Unity. I
thought that it should not have the same problem which my Intel Compute Stick
has - freezing of the whole GUI when one application (the Firefox) it too busy.
It's not complete freezing but the reactions of WHOLE Unity are extremely slow.

I hoped that it's a specific issue of the Stick which has limited RAM (just one
GB). The Pocket has 8 (eight!) GB and it's behavior is almost the same.

So I now running my old SGI O2. Yes, it is much slower (it's from 1998 and even
it it's day it wasn't the fastest desktop available) and I have no such issues:
there is one big computation running, several other apps are opened (the QCAD,
the Netscape, some gVim windows and so) and I still have working audio and a
GUI without freezing. So what is wrong with modern low-end machines?
