I'm coming up from scratch into Writer in about 9 seconds, the first
time.  Subsequently 4 seconds.  But there is a lot of memory an 2 cpus
on this box.

To kill a service for this session and for future sessions:

chkconfig <servicename> off
service <servicename> stop

This can go unless you use nfs

Unless you use the RHN "you got updates" applet, you can turn this off.

NFS stuff I believe.

NFS stuff, kill if you don't use

NFS.

No raid?  Kill

No isdn?  Kill

"Multipath device monitor"  Kill kill, faster, pussycat

Not sure, but I think you can turn this on only when you add hardware,
but probably best to leave it on to save against headscratching down the
line.

Kill unless you are SMP

Kill unless you are on a laptop, or if you do not have PC Cards / PCMCIA


That will save a few meg, but you can dive deeper: have a look at the
output of

lsmod

Do we see things like ipv6 when you are not on ipv6?
