This is good to know. So, chown root:root /tmp/.ICE-unix directory will
increase system performance?

What about removing kwrited and Klipper? Are these safe changes for speed
improvements?

What are some of the other 'well known tricks' to improve performance on
lighter hardware? I'm compiling a full KDE-3.1 desktop system from scratch
on a 200mHz PentiumMMX with 196M memory for my daughter so I'd like to get
as much speed improvements as possible ;-)
