[openpsion] netBook HOWTO updated

[Brian D. <du...@ap...>]

I have updated/added various things in the HOWTO in response to
various considerations this past month.  In particular, I've
added a section on "Optimizations and Adjustments":

http://linux-7110.sourceforge.net/howtos/netbook_new/x397.htm

mainly on the various /proc settings one can set.  I solicit
a review/comments of this section - anything I've got wrong
or missed?

I've learned that the firefox "throbber" (that thing in the upper
right corner of firefox that circles when a web page is loading) 
may consume considerable cpu cycles.  This throbber is just an 
animated gif file, and one example throbber gif file consumed some
30% of cpu when directly viewed in firefox; the netBook's graphics
are not quick.  I've changed my throbber [no comments please] to 
be a static green dot when the page is complete, and a static red 
dot when the page is loading.  The HOWTO has a link under 
Applications/browsers for how to do this.
