Jeff, I am running RH9 on my laptop which is also my work machine. My laptop does not support APM, just ACPI. RedHat stock kernels do not support ACPI, so I compile my own with APM support turned off and ACPI support turned on. That's the only change I make. I've also added acpid to the machine. It has really cut down on the amount of time the fan is on. I don't know that it does anything for performance, but it sure made things quieter on my desk.
