A little; as in running XP in classic mode/skin. Turning off all  
animated graphics in XP. Turning off the screen-saver on both XP and  
OS X.

I used to do some system tweaking back on Windows 95 but not with XP  
and never on the Macs. No anti-virus software, which means  
practically no INternet for the XP boxes. And definitely never  
upgrading Windows since I got the system working fine. I use Macs for  
everything and PCs for Mobius. The Macs upgrade all the time, after I  
have checked with colleges that a new system upgrade doesn't harm any  
of the software I'm using for music.
