While this won't be much help in tuning up your system, it should make
things run a bit faster.

Kill all processes you don't absolutely need. I notice you're running
firefox in there, kdm, ssh, etc. What I do is, when I'm working on an
audio session, I'll run X with fluxbox running on top of it, ardour and
jackd, and pretty much nothing else. I kill smartmontools, sshd, any
init.d script which isn't vital to the system running.
