Some experiences...
I installed LL2.6 then 2.8 on my daughters 1st Gen Sony Netbook, XP ran O.K'ish, but sluggish.
With LL it was very, very good... It was old school tech, so was able to upgrade memory from 1GB to 2GB... It was like Chalk & Cheese, Night and Day... It now really performed.
Move on...
I have acquired an HP Stream 11 from a friend who basically was just not using it, I had already installed LL2.8, that is fixed at 2.0GB & N3050 CPU... With LL it is a great little performer.
Some screen shot, no performance tweaks done...
From power on, desktop in @ 12~14 secs... start-up also includes Skype, Bluetooth and SpiderOak (OnLine BackUp/Sync, all my PC's have certain files/folders always in Sync).
Zero Swap used, CPU usage is fine @ 25 ~ 45%.

Even with Virtualbox running and an instance of XP, it's still very usable... Swap usage at @ 380MB & CPU @ 35~88% usage

Conclusion,
That 1 extra GB makes a very usable Netbook become a little power house.
