I have been happily running Gentoo 1.2 for a couple months on an old laptop I picked up.

Just curious if there are any experience / recommendations on how I can squeeze some more performance out of it?

The specs on the laptop are:

Toshiba 660CDT
80MB RAM
P150
2GB HD

Thanks!

Easy... ducttape and chewing gum

nah, GCC3 and agressive CFLAGs will be the only way besides hardware upgrades.

While ducttape would be much cooler looking, up till now I have used super-glue.

I will have to do some more research on CFLAGS. I am waiting for 1.4 to be released, and then I figure I will nuke the whole thing and start from scratch. Starting to get some odd lock-ups.

Thanks for the advice on GCC3 and CFLAGS!
