Someone, and I can't think who, sent a brilliant list of things to do
to speed GNOME up to this list a month or two (or more?) ago. You should
be able to find it in the archives. It had a fairly obvious subject.
I am not on my normal machine, so can't check right now.

It ranged from the file manager to backgrounds, images, and window manager
settings.
