Remember reading a post ages ago with tips on what to do to your laptop (running Traktor Pro 2.5) to make it as reliable as possible before a gig. No chance I'll find it now so wondering what things people recommend other than turning wifi off?

Run game booster so it will boost traktors CPU output and lower everything else!
Also save your playlist with cues n everything to a usb stick just in case..
would not recommend this at all, don't muck with OS scheduling. can create instability.
my recommendation is create a new user for performing under that you only log in to for that. disable all startup applications, if you're on windows, turn off all the visual crap (go to the most basic skin, no 3d effects, etc.)
Edit: looked at it, all it does is kill some unnecessary processes. you can accomplish this just as effectively by creating a user that you log into solely for the purpose of performing, and that way you get the added benefit of having separate configuration as well. apologies for the knee jerk reaction, you described it as something very different.

No problem.

The second part is more extreme but kind of your 'best possible option,' and probably best done when you have downtime, not right before a gig.
edit:
also found this older article about how to specifically configure that user account; looks a little dated but a lot of the information is still fairly accurate.

Thanks for those links. Gigs only on Saturday so have a bit of time to play around.
