Doing all of these will definitely improve your framerate and your overall scoring. I attribute my sudden boost in skill to this post!
Setting your monitor refresh rate doesn't affect fullscreen, there's an in-game setting for v-sync. Turning that off will uncap your framerate but you may experience "tearing" (I haven't).
Another tip: Doing these things will give you noticably higher performance, but your personal skill in terms of skill and reading will probably stay the same. Remember to keep practicing!

I'll add a few easy tutorials here when I'm not lazy. I'll begin with how to make your stepmania run as smooth as possible:
Making Stepmania run smooth on Vista/7
3.9/3.95
Go to the Program folder of StepMania and rightclick on StepMania.exe and check out these boxes shown below:
This will disable Aero theme and other Windows crap that will make your StepMania offsync and choppy
Now for a weird fix that removes frameskipping; go to the Data folder, and locate StepMania.ini and add WaveOut to SoundDrivers= shown below:
This works with Windows Vista and 7
Also be sure to disable VSYNC, this helps on all OS versions
StepMania 5
Same as 3.9/3.95:
The settings in StepMania 5 are located in Save and Preferences.ini:
And another tip, be sure to have your monitor refresh rate set to the highest supported by your Monitor/Graphics card
Close StepMania before making modifications or theses fixes won't be saved
