Go through _all_ the processes you see with ps -ef. Each and every one you can eliminate helps. Do you really need atd and crond? or is just one anacrond sufficient? Do you have lpd or cupsd running, but no printer around? Each one of these things you can remove in the first place will greatly help in the long run.
