Hello!
Welcome to Linux Lite. LL not only outperforms Windows XP/7 systems with the same amount of RAM, but most all of the other 'Buntus as well.
Although some are better than others, anti-virus runtime engines really drag ALL Windows systems down considerably. As an exampleI recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 3135 netbook with Windows 8.1, and McAfee was hogging 80% of the CPU time. I finally had to uninstall it and switch it over to Windows Defender.
At some point, I WILL put Lite on it. I just haven't quite figured out how to make the two 'play nice' with each other yet. In the meantime, I'll run it off a 16GB or 32GB SD card...
