Lower memory usage by selecting smallest-size icons/themes

Icons visible on desktop, taskbar, startmenu, and elsewhere use your memory and cpu resources. Many of these can be changed to more simple.

Same can be done in themes. If you select themes that have smaller overall size there is great chance that smallest will be the fastest.
