firefox slow
Move stuff to smaller sda, it's faster than sdb. Cache on eee SSD is quite slow. Clear cache first (cannot be cleared once disabled) and
about:config
browser.cache.disk.enable false
browser.cache.memory.capacity 32000

toolkit.storage.synchronous 0
find -name *.sqlite -exec sqlite3 {} "vacuum;" \;
ssd performance
Use different scheduler:
# apt-get install sysfsutils /etc/sysfs.conf: block/sda/queue/scheduler=deadline block/sdb/queue/scheduler=deadline block/sda/queue/iosched/write_expire=5000 block/sda/queue/iosched/writes_starved=4 # etc # block/sda/queue/iosched/fifo_batch=1 may also help
swap performance
# do not swap unless absolutely neccessary echo 'vm.swappiness=0' | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
