Good morning, everybody! I just woke up and found lots of other suggestions, both here and in 20/30 comments on the web page, which I just approved so are now readable by everybody. Almost surely, today I won't be able to try and report about the latest suggestions. I have to leave with family in a few minutes, for stuff planned weeks ago. So if you don't hear from me again before a couple of days, it's not because I've ran again from Linux or Fedora. For now, just wanted to say a couple of things: first, many thanks to all who've provided lots of useful advice. As I just said, I've got so much of it that I simply haven't had the time to use all of it yet. In any case it is my intention to do as many of those other tests as I can and then report here as soon as possible, and then reformat all this advice in some how-to guide publish on the same website. secondly, I have to report that a simple "vacuuming" of the sqlite databases of Firefox as explained here: http://www.gettingclever.com/2008/06/vacuum-your-firefox-3.html is enough to make a real difference. After doing that yesterday evening, I have deliberately let Firefox open the whole night, with 10/12 tabs scattered over three windows. 8/9 hours later, the system is not as fast as I'd like it, but IS much faster than I have had to endure in the previous days. Many thanks to the person who suggested this, read my message from yesterday to see how much this trick reduced the size of those databases. There is still a lot to do and I'll do as much of it as I can, but it's impressive that simple tricks like this that, for the record, would have never emerged by simply trying live cds can do. I must seriously write something more about how to optimize Linux in the 2010's.
