In short, there isn't an alternative.

A software solution is only ever going to get you so far. In my experience adding physical memory to a unit has always greatly improved performance.

Also, unless you are reasonably experienced in these things a re-install is something that can easily go wrong. The OS part of the process isn't that difficult but you then have the issues regarding device drivers. It can be a headache for even the experienced IT person.

However, if disk cleanups and what not work for you or anybody else then fair enough.
