Android Studio on Ubuntu 14.04 Very Slow

Question

Can you please guide why Android Studio latest version is very slow to use on Ubuntu 14.04 with all latest upgrades, 4 Giga Memory and Core i5 system , otherwise Ubuntu and system are fast and I develop lot of stuff on this system like mostly in PHP, JS etc.

However as I started to do some Android app development, I am finding hard to use my system with Android Studio. I have even replaced OpenJDK with Oracle's JDK as was recommended by Google Android Studio, it improved and now system getting greyed and stuck is no more issue, but still using Studio for any action is very slow, and almost impossible to work without getting laggy windows and slow responses.

Any tips to make Android Studio work fine at Ubuntu 14.04 please?
