For deeper explanation, use Google (I'm sitting with my exams in statistics and have no time for explaining, sorry!) 1. Buy a fast(er) harddisk 2. Compile a preempt kernel with sched_autogroup and zcache enabled. 3. Write this in /etc/rc.config /sbin/blockdev --setra 8192 /dev/sda echo "cfq" > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler echo "32" > /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/quantum echo "0" > /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/slice_idle echo "1" > /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/low_latency echo "51200" > /sys/block/sda/queue/nr_requests echo "20" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold echo "10" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_down_factor 4. Write this in /etc/sysctl.conf: vm.swappiness = 10 vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 50 vm.dirty_ratio = 10 vm.dirty_background_ratio = 5 5. Kick tracker, zeitgeist and similar performance-drags from your system. That's it.
