Have you tried booting with cheatcode "2"? That makes you boot into text mode. It doesn't make the CD smaller, but it saves a lot of RAM. Have you tried frugal or HDD installs? Those make DSL somewhat faster.

You could also remaster DSL. Take out the apps you don't need. It isn't really that hard. There are step by step instructions somewhere in these forums. Written by meo. You could also follow the instructions on the Knoppix wiki. remastering will make you from an intermediate to a slightly more advanced intermediate.
