gpm is a handy thing. why would you want to turn that off? am i the only one who likes to use the mouse for copying and pasting in the console?

syslog ;-) you can turn off all the things you aren't using, in that list, it would be gpm, identd, atd, xinetd for my desktop.
Don't turn off syslog, as its (as the name states) the system logger, but it does take up lots of resources.

Yeah, and I even searched the list before I asked the Q.
Anyway, that program is exactly what I had in mind, but
it doesn't look like I'm running very many services, so I doubt
there is much I can turn off.
Here's what's on according to ntsysv:
anacron
atd
crond
gpm
identd
network
random
syslog
xfs
xinetd
Is there anything here that I can turn off that will help signficantly with performance?
Thanks,
Drew
