So here's the short of it:

What I'm trying to do is get the maximum performance that I can, like anyone else would. Short of upgrading RAM or any aftermarket upgrades, is there anything I can personally do? Like the Windows 8 App Home Screen for instance. I can't find a way to disable it, not even online. Does anyone have any insight into this? I'm guessing when I say this, but, it seems like a waste of CPU Usage and could be a minor issue with performance. My internet speed is somewhat laughable, but maintains a 55ms on games such as World of Warcraft. Average download rate sits at around 70-100KBps. You're probably thinking.... "WHAAAAT, fool?". That's what I have to work with for the time being, though. Back to the start. Suggestions for increasing performance; like what processes I need running for a barebones setup and still be able to bot/game/peruse skin sites ;) , (BEFORE I SPEND MONEY) would be appreciated.
 Thanks for the time,

Run mods in low CPU mode.

Close all other programs you aren't currently using, including useless/excess services (GameBooster can help you do this, as can ccCleaner).

Overclock your PC.

Run bots in high priority (task manager -> processes -> java.exe, right click, set priority -> high or realtime)

Run 2-3 bots per client, with multiple client (I hear it helps managing a balance between CPU and RAM usage)
