For this, avoid things written in dynamic languages, and in general try to use the smallest and most efficient program for a given task (you could look at applications recommended for older/slower computers like blackbox / evilwm / rox-filer / xfce / lxde / etc. and using a command line application whenever possible rather than a full GUI will save a large amount of CPU / disk usage as well.
