A1: Remove default icons you really don't need (.tar etc. might be a good
candidate)
A2: Optimize the icons using Stefan Rupprechts "CondenseIcons" (Aminet), it
can remove the old planar image from the icon, convert any NewIcons
tooltypes into an OS 3.5 image, and save an optimized result. That can
reduce the size of a lot of icons by 50%. Once run CondenseIcons can
recurse into directories so you can convert A LOT of icons at once.
A3: Install HappyENV (Aminet), it copies files from ENVARC: to ENV: only
when they are actually requested by an application, speeding up booting
and saving some RAM as well.
A4: Occasionally browse thru ENVARC: - often there's a lot of old config
files and crap still rotting there, from programs you've deleted almost
ages ago. :)
