my guess would be that the web server and database are the biggest
consumers of cpu time on your machine followed by the file server.

you could replace apache with something with a smaller foot print. i
know frank swears by thttpd (http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd).

the database could be sped up a bit by indexing tables *where
appropriate* , and by dropping some logging if you are doing that. also
newer versions of mysql may have some improved efficiency or other
features which you may benefit from.

augie.
