Using XFCE 4... What can I turn off to make it faster

[James McDonald]

Hi All,

I have just moved to using XFCE4 since I was getting tired of waiting for
KDE apps to launch on my PIII 600 Box. It has sped things up considerably
but I would like to know if anyone has any pointers on improving
performance on Linux boxes...

I have

Mandrake 9.1
2.4.21 kernel
XFCE4
PIII 600/512MB RAM
it is running Apache 2.x and Postfix and squirrel mail.

Actually can anyone point me to a book on performance tuning.

Also I noticed that Keith(Antoine) is back online what was the story
behind your disappearence?.. everyone was worried about you.
