Can I remove something from the exhaust to make the car or truck faster?

HPI Racing - Frequently Asked Questions
Our metal "can" style mufflers that sit right behind the engine can have the circular metal baffle inside removed for a slight increase in power. Our plastic tuned pipe and plastic side mufflers do not have any parts that can be removed to increase power.

The plastic tuned pipe is ultrasonically welded together, so taking it apart will make it will not perform as well as before.

Clipping should only make things faster, right?

Frequently Asked Questions
The cairo_clip function can be used for two different operations. The first is to restrict the set of pixels that need to be updated, (imagine needing to draw only half of a window that was just uncovered by another window). While the second is to modify what is being drawn with some non-pixel-aligned shape (imagine a circular clip path, for example). These two uses result in very different code paths inside cairo and in the underlying window system.

General Questions Q50 How do I make VNC go faster?

VNC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
We find VNC to be perfectly acceptable as our normal method of accessing Unix desktops on a daily basis. This is over a 10 Mbit/s ethernet on reasonably modern machines, using the X or Win32 viewer. Because Windows gives us fewer hints about what it's doing, and because we don't have the source code for Windows in the same way that we do for X, the WinVNC server has to work harder to find out what's changed, and so a really fast machine should make a big speed difference.

How do I make Windows XP run faster?
