This is great advice for any computer if you're trying to wring every  
last bit of power out of it. I have and old 12" Powerbook that I use  
as a live keyboard rig running Logic's instruments and I get better  
performance at lower CPU by disabling ALL network ports.

The easiest way to do this is to go to Network Preferences, save your  
existing location setup first and then create a new Location with a  
name like "Live Playing" with ALL network ports deleted - ethernet,  
bluetooth, internal modem, firewire (this last one doesn't affect  
using Firewire for a hard drive or interface)etc...

Then  you can simply switch between locations from the Location menu  
in the Finder Apple Menu. I used to turn them all on/ off  
individually until I discovered this. Just thought others might like  
to know.

Kind regards
