Got a few tweaks, both for speed and security

Turn your infrared reception on/off
I suggest off because any techy that happens to have a device with an infrared xmitter could potentially cause some showstoppers.

Turn off Dashboard
Most people don't use it, and it does take up some system time

Remove the Sleep Image and set it to off
Sleep image is what brings your laptop quickly out of sleep or hibernate mode. Issue is, if you are running a laptop strictly for DJing, you probably don't sleep or hibernate your computer. I don't, and it was taking up 18 gigs of space on a 120 gb SSD (over 10% of the available space). Fresh load before every performance, and never sleep. Here's how to do it
