Am I better off with xbuntu or lubuntu?

I have an old computer and I have installed the latest Ubuntu 14.0 LTS 32-bit. However, the computer is fairly slow. Applications take long to open. My hardware specifications are the following:
- AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3500+
- 1 GB Ram




This computer runs well on windows XP since I set it back to factory settings. But I wanted to try out Ubuntu. Hence I have dual booted it. But the performance is slow hence I am wondering whether I am better off with Lubuntu or xbuntu. If I do need to change, which one is better based on my current hardware. If there are any other better options please let me know. Also, I would like to be able to do some development work with whatever Linux flavor can work with the given specs if possible.



Thank you.
