    Don't expect miracles, but if you time the startup of applications
    should improve. Anyway, you can achieve short startup time using a
    fast filesystem or tuning it for performance (like disabling the atime
    update). About recompiling from sources all the applications, this
    come up continuosly on MLs, but your gains usually don't justify the
    time spent. The biggest chances is recompiling the libc6 and the
    xfree86, but at least for the libc6 you can install the "libc6-i686"
    package instead of wasting time recompiling it. =)

    Is suggested to run it with priority 0 with the 2.6.x kernels,
    otherwise with previous kernels (2.4.x or 2.2.x) X can run better with
    little more priority (like -10).
