You could set up a runlevel for performance, that runs only the necessary daemons : udev, jack, dbus. No syslog/ssh/avahi/cron/at/cups/acpid/ftp/networkmanager/bluez/ whatever... Also you can run a minimalistic X session, with screensaver/dpms/screnblanking disabled and a lightweight window manager.
Wow, that's a great idea! Put those unused init runlevels to work!
With Debian/Ubuntu runlevel 2 is normal, and 3-5 are unused or really
just the same as 2. On other distros, I guess its different. Put
update-rc.d to work! I wonder if we could make a package or script
that configured the performance runlevel?
