Not nessecarily speed things up but it keeps the clutter down and your system is less likely to get confused and crash.

Most of these tweaks can be done with Xteq System's Xsetup.

Hundreds and hundreds of easy tweak toggles with descriptions and recommendations, I highly recommend it.

Careful with xteq ppl its very powerful & can reduce ppl to tears....do a backup first! its also my fav tweaking tool
