There are only a few things to make an old system run faster:
- put in all the ram you can salvage from old equipment - disable swap. - replace the harddrive with some kind of solid state disk, e.g. cf-card + ide-adapter (I have two of these things in my "box of little things I probably will never use" - just drop a line if you need one)

All,
Do you have experience with running Trinity on older hardware?
I have a PI and a PII. For years I ran KDE 3.5.10 on both. While hardly the fastest hardware, and 3.5.10 hardly the snappiest desktop environment, the system was usable. Trinity R14 on both systems is almost unusable. Starting Trinity takes a minute or two. Opening konsole takes 7-10 seconds. Opening a preloaded konqueror takes 20-25 seconds.
I realize free/libre software never truly supported older hardware despite claims otherwise and developers instead move relentlessly onward with bleeding edge hardware. Still, because of the many improvements I would think Trinity R14 would fare better, at least as good as 3.5.10.
Any ideas? Any help?
