Description
The rounded corners on the default Human theme make a big difference in UI responsiveness, especially on systems without good graphics acceleration, or in a virtual machine. There is little visual difference in going to a square-edged theme, but a big improvement in feel for a lot of installations.

Many people new to Ubuntu would get a better experience of it being fast and responsive if the default theme were more suitable. For example, Mist or Metabox.

I tried it, and indeed it made things more responsive for me. Thanks for the tip!
