 Use a very basic theme like minimal if you use fluxbox, or try jwm instead.
 Turn off icons, dockapps, and torsmo.
 Consider some low-resource alternatives to applications launched from desktop icons: midnight commander instead of emelfm, mpg321 and ogg123 instead of xmms, vim or nano instead of beaver, dillo instead of firefox.
 Lower your screen resolution and color depth.
 Create a swap partition if you haven't already done it.
