Ok, first of all I'm blind and it seems to be the most accessible option
at this time.
Lxde and xfce4 are gtk based and are alternatives, but I'm reasonably
happy with gnome tbh.

Hmm, I really hope it is not h/w problem:
Intel core I5 2.4 Ghz 4 gb ram 128 gb ssd.
Do you still think it's a h/w problem?
Running top shows many running processes (that's normal?).
The top few are things I use eg. brltty cpufreq etc. so looks pretty
reasonable.
Thanks,
