Beyond that there are some chefs who go above and beyond that, with further tweaks I don't know a damn thing about. But for the most part it's all about newer builds, new drivers if they can find them, and stripping out performance-sapping gunk. Then some, like no2chem, have been known to pack in additional tools that extend the functionality or give you options to choose trade-offs to improve performance more (like on the Mogul, a high-mem mode that disabled the camera and gave you an extra 10MB of RAM).
