Go to: system > preferences > startup applications, and disable anything from starting up that you don't need. I disable:
bluetooth --since I don't need that.
check for new hardware drivers --I read that that is a bit of a resource hog, and nobody needs to check for new hardware all the time anyway.
evolution alarm notifier --I don't use evolution.
gnome login sound --I can live without the drums

print queue applet --no printer here.
update notifier --I check for updates manually with apt-get.
There may be other things I could disable. I don't know what some of the items are, so I leave them alone.
I also disable desktop effects under: system > preferences > appearance > visual effects tab.
Also, see this thread about disabling services with
sysv-rc-conf:

These suggestions will not get you a huge speed increase, but they may save some system resources though.
There are lightweight distros based on Ubuntu. They don't use gnome though:
