I don't pretend to know Linux, but the article sounded like it made good sense. Some of it most may know, but you never know where you may find a usable tweak.

Gone are the days when you could make a cup of tea and drink it in the time it takes your computer's operating system to boot (with one notable exception). On that basis, you might think that your Linux machines are already performing at the fastest possible speed, right?
Sadly, this is not always the case. Communities developing mainstream Linux distributions have to appeal to the widest possible audience and ensure compatibility with the widest range of hardware.
This means that someone running a mainstream distro on a netbook or a low-end PC may well be using many of the same settings as someone with a high-end gaming machine. But it doesn't have to be this way!
With just a few tweaks and some experimentation, your Linux system can realise your machine's untapped potential.
