		<description><![CDATA[Firefox tip: Firefox 3.0&#8217;s Awesome Bar added all kinds of features to the &#8216;fox, but unfortunately it&#8217;s also created some performance issues&#8212;for example, by upping the default history time, leading to larger, fragmented databases. This quick hack speeds things up.

On the same exact computer, where I&#8217;m triple-booting Vista, XP, and now the Windows 7 beta (build 7000), I ran a set of startup [...]]]></description>

Many of these are familiar as means of improving the responsiveness in Vista and earlier Windows versions, such as minimising the number of services loaded at start-up and not running unneeded software.

From private browsing modes to tab preview panels, from punchier colours to really smart session restoring, there&#8217;s been a lot of thought put into how people want to use the web. But perhaps the greatest promise in [...]]]></description>

However, our tests had their flaws, we made a big boo-boo by not including Vista&#8217;s SP1 in the mix, and you all suggested ways to make them more thorough and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Hackosis blog notes a contentious conversation thread between Linux creator Linus Torvalds and a programmer who finds that disabling the atime option, which writes a last-accessed time to every single file that&#8217;s accessed by a Linux system, nets some significant performance improvements. If you don&#8217;t use any defragmenting or mail-watching apps (like mutt) that [...]]]></description>
