If you just want to use drawterm to connect, the reply you quoted shows a
simple way.  If you want to use more plan 9 capabilities, like mounting the
pi file system remotely with 9fs, or connecting with a different user name,
setting up a full cpu + auth + fossil server gives you that (and gives you
a chance to understand plan 9 more thoroughly).

The 9pi.img already sets gpu ram size to the minimum.  Plan 9 doesn't use
the gpu's accelerated graphics api, but the gpu is still doing some low-level
functions behind the scenes.

I wouldn't advise overclocking anything.  If you care that much about speed,
why use a raspberry pi?
