    Here are a few thing that should help.

    1: get ride of KDE... try fluxbox... KDE makes a horrid wm as it eats a lot of resources
    2: start optimizing stuff...
    2.1: copy /etc/defualts/make.conf to /etc/make.conf and set that optimize stuff
    2.2: make a optimized kernel
    2.3: do a buildworld
    2.4: recompile X
    2.5: recompile gtk, gtk+, and etc
    2.6: recompile any thing else that you use a lot and what ever depenecies they use
    2.7: above all get ride of KDE
