My rule of thumb is to turn off all the sprocket stuff - it's just 
for games. and all printer stuff I don't need.

Then there is modem stuff that isn't needed. Also, turn off the 
"recent apps", servers and docs in the Apple menu.

Removing or turning off other stuff has tended to cause trouble in my 
experience. Even if the server doesn't need it, sooner or later, I'll 
need a diagnostic tool or something and it won't work because of 
something I've done.

I once managed to kill Sherlock by trying to be too clever and turn 
off unneeded stuff - then I couldn't do a find when I needed to 
located just one html doc 6 layers deep. And I never did figure out 
from the extensions manager what had gone wrong, even turning 
everything back on didn't fix Sherlock - I had to do a system 
reinstall to get it working again - and that was certainly more 
trouble it was worth.
