If you have ever noticed a lag with powershell, here is a way to speed things up.
Update-Gac.ps1
Below is the content of the Update-GAC.ps1 script that I run whenever I install a new version of PowerShell. Our installation is supposed to ngen the assemblies in the background. If that works, it doesn’t work fast enough for me. Also I’ve seen lots of examples where people run this script long after their install and things get a TON faster so …. The install team is looking into the issue but until then – here is the script I use:
Set-Alias ngen @(
dir (join-path ${env:\windir} "Microsoft.NET\Framework") ngen.exe -recurse |
sort -descending lastwritetime
)[0].fullName
[appdomain]::currentdomain.getassemblies() | %{ngen $_.location}
PowerShell Team Blog : Update-Gac.ps1
This always annoyed me. Users with contribute rights are given the right to "Edit Page" under site actions. This quick write-up resolves that issue by only providing that function to users with Full Control, rather than Contribute. As always, be careful when modifying default.master and make sure you have backups readily available.

Open the master page for the site.
-
Find the following lines of code:
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate runat="server" id="MenuItem_EditPage"
Text="<%$Resources:wss,siteactions_editpage%>"
Description="<%$Resources:wss,siteactions_editpagedescription%>"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/ActionsEditPage.gif"
MenuGroupId="100"
Sequence="200"
ClientOnClickNavigateUrl="BLOCKED SCRIPTMSOLayout_ChangeLayoutMode(false);"
/>
-
Add to the following lines to the code:
PermissionsString="ManageSubwebs"
PermissionMode="Any"
-
The code should now look like:
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate runat="server" id="MenuItem_EditPage"
Text="<%$Resources:wss,siteactions_editpage%>"
Description="<%$Resources:wss,siteactions_editpagedescription%>"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/ActionsEditPage.gif"
MenuGroupId="100"
Sequence="200"
ClientOnClickNavigateUrl="BLOCKED SCRIPTMSOLayout_ChangeLayoutMode(false);"
PermissionsString="ManageSubwebs"
PermissionMode="Any"
/>
-
Save the master page and login with an account that does not have Full Control, but is not read only either… The Site Actions drop down should now resemble:
