Using spread attack (Default shift+g) can drastically increase the effectiveness of bombers and artillery, also useful for throwaway raiding.

Under "Options -> Chat -> Join/Paths" you can disable the annoying join/quit message in IRC
You cann rightclick on a user in the chatlobby and add him as friend.
"Add Foe" means, you get no pm from this user.

Making game run slow on purpose is actually against the rules...

Just dont let them build up to that point.

I meant anything above 10 units, as they already clump up into nice juicy squares. Besides; for an average joe, the game running slower is usually an advantage over a high APM pro : )

If you use rally points for factories, make sure to add a small patrol loop at the end of the rally point. This way your units won't clump up in a nice square formation, just waiting for enemy AOE to take a lot out at once.

Might be more of an average joe tip but I found it to help me a lot.

You can reclaim enemy or your unfinished building and get all mass AND power back
also you can select unfinished factories and prevent them from being reclaimed by enemy, by ctrl+k it (instant ctrl+k works for sure, dunno about regular one )
