Jerry is correct. Looking at the age and specs of that computer, advancing to LL 3.0 might have been an ambitious move. If LL 2.x doesn't perform better for you, it might behoove you to go to an LXDE based distro like LXLE or PeppermintOS. Even with those, I would encourage you to choose one that is based on Ubuntu 14.04, not 16.04. You'll still be supported until April 2019.
If it were me, that's what I would do. I'd try LL 2.6, and if that didn't suffice, I'd choose LXLE 14.04.3. I'd also upgrade to 2GB of RAM, which I believe is the maximum for that computer. You should be able to get that on eBay for $15 or less including shipping.
