By "xfe," did you mean XFCE? (Yes ... ?)

If you're not using XFCE but something else, then you might want to
switch to XFCE.  XFCE is a very fast desktop GUI.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xfce

Eliminating GDM (Gnu GNOME Display Manager) as my display manager
offered an immense speed up.  This also eliminated various desktop
glitches.  I switched from GDM to LXDM.  LXDM is the display manager
for the LXDE desktop GUI.  FYI, it wasn't designed to be paired with
XFCE, but works well with it.  So, you might consider using LXDE with
LXDM since they're designed to go together.

Switching from Chrome to Mozilla Firefox improved my Internet browsing
speed substantially.

Switching from VLC to SMPlayer improved video playback speed.  They
have Linux versions on the download page.  You need to have MPlayer
installed, but most Linux versions come with it pre-loaded.

Linux usually comes with many services/daemons enabled.  This slows it
down. Try turning off unneeded services, especially those which are a
security risk since they open ports.
