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

[Jerry McBride]

Hi James.

I use XFCE 4 on a number of laptops and what has helped me most is running 
prelink over the install. This is done on GENTOO, but I would assume that 
prelink can be found on the net somewhere and used on your Mandrake as well.

Cheers.
