I installed xubuntu 16.04 (clean installation) on 3 machines. Two of them have 4gb ram and duo core celeron cpu and the 3rd has only 2gb but a core duo cpu. Generally, I see that 16.04 needs more ram than 14.04 did to run the same applications. On my 3rd machine (this with 2gb ram only) many times (when many tabs on internet browser are open or flash is running) exceeds the whole ram and starts swap (set vm.swappiness=1 instead the default 60). Under 14.04 my 3rd machine never needed to use swap.
