Other things you can do (how much of an improvement you will get depends on your laptop)
  • shut off bluetooth and wireless
  • dim the display
  • kill processes you don't need that may be accessing the disk (like virus scanners, etc)
  • go into your power management utility and set everything you can to maximum battery life

+1 for the flash drive
