Also, avoid opening many dired buffer:
If you use anything <http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/Anything>
you will find a command named `anything-find-files' (it is new) in
anything-config.el.
With this command you can navigate to a file you want to open without
opening any dired buffers (use `C-z' to expand subdir and `C-.' to went back
one level).
So if you want to navigate to ~/foo/bar/baz/your_file, you will have
only the buffer your_file open.
I use this command as a replacement of standard C-x C-f.
