mythdora is merely FC6, as you mentioned. I think your 2 biggest
performance gains will come from switching to a lightweight window
manager. Ratpoison does a great job and has a small memory footprint.
And as was mentioned in another response, you can turn off unneeded
services. So to recap:

1) Switch window manager
2) Turn off unused services
