I do the 1st one, but have not tried the other 3. Not sure how much it would improve performance...

I agree with the first, I would also do the 4th one as I would rely on the built in screen saver of the device to manage the security portion, and this would cut down unneeded Processor cycles. also have a look and DABCC.COM and look at the hacks and tweeks for a terminal server as the principles are very similar in a VDI envrionment.
