  The development of high gradient linacs necessitates the optimization of the structure efficiency. An effort on optimizing cavity shapes and RF sources results also in a very efficient system suitable for high repetition rate operation at moderate gradients. The overall system design becomes more efficient as one operates at higher frequencies. Naively, for a single bunch operation, one would expect that the average power required is inversely proportional to the square of the frequency. In this paper we will discuss the optimization and scaling of room temperature linacs as drivers for high repetition rate FELs. We will also discuss suitable electron gun designs and overall system considerations.
