Many netbooks come with Solid State Drives (SSD), a relatively new technology that promises the possibility of improvements in performance over mechanical hard disks at a considerable premium.
However, in real life, with existing operating systems like most flavors of Linux, Windows XP, etc. this promise, far from being realized, have been setback by optimizations of OS and popular Applications like Microsoft Office / Outlook for use on hard drive based PCs.
For a detailed discussion of the problems and issues, see this link below:

In summary, every SSD optimization require a solution taylored around your netbook's limitations and also your OS and applications.
The best way to begin is to use a tool like filemon (from Microsoft) to figure out what is causing the file access on your SSD, then making a determination as to whether it can be limited without other costs, and then, tweaking your system.
