I'm afraid there isn't much you can do. Linux on A1200 runs quite slow even on 060 and DMA SCSI controller.
That's actually not correct. Linux runs quite fine, even on 030. It's certainly no worse today than 10-12 years ago. But, a lot of the software you find today (especially on Debian where they pull along all kinds of nonsense) runs slowly - slow computers are not the target for such software.
Running linux on m68k today has a lot more in common with running linux on embedded systems than running linux on modern generic PCs.
Personally I noticed quite some speed gains when I started compiling with optimization for size, -Os, instead of spee, -O3. Obviously smaller footprint (and then less IO) made a difference.
And I also dont use the video console more than I have to :-)
