Installs for remote use (5.1)

In an everlasting quest to squeeze the best performance out of my VPN, I am
going to attempt a local install on a laptop for remote use. I found the
Answerbook "How-To's" (1878MPS), and they seem pretty complete. Just
wondering if anyone has any additional hints, suggestions, tweaks, or advise
to share?

TIA,

Paul Siebers
