i concur, if our goal is to assemble the ultimate audio OS9, everything not needed for that purpose should not be included, and if it is only for the sake of our perfectionism.
but my personal installs looks a bit different, they are in use for some other things, too.
once i stood in a place with a system with no appletalk, serial switcher, and stuff it engine and was really f*cked. since that day i gave up to "optimise" by deleting .

Just so the Newbies understand, you can have different sets that simple "turn off" the extensions that you do not need for your current workflow; save the set as a different name, and reboot.... for musicians the very basic mode would be 2 sets to choose from, "DAW Mode" with the tweeks mentioned above and "Non-DAW mode" maybe with almost all extensions turned on.

Let`s make the cleaning!
Whatever method used, there should be some extensions chosen. IIO, would you be a lamb and told us yours chosen ones? And please indicate too the machine used and the DAW, synth chosen if it needs extensions.

what if u were to install more then 1gb ram and allocate all the space above 1gb as a ram disk?
could there be made a script (applescript?) on boot, to copy your favourite apps + plugins to this disk?
would the computer behave as though it only had 1gb installed (ie: logic 4.x still works?)
IIO:
what my configuration looks like?
as far as i remember i haven not removed anything. i use a machine specific 922, without bullshit like "maps" and without user&groups and keychain (i cant really tell if those are in a standard install or not), plus the latest updates for quicktime, nividia and ati, and plus some 20 third party extensions in addition.
this is, like i said before, because my audio machine is not used for audio only, so i can hardly "optimize" for that purpose.
if i could, i´d really like to remove the appearance manager ("themes"), and - most of the time - navigation services, but thats not possible after OS850. :) the latter can be trap-patched, but i havent found a good solution yet ...
IIO:
btw., if you want to find me between the other lambs, thats easy: i am the black one.

Is your Install MAX focused or multimedia focused? Or Office ?

I use A-dock as "appearance manager" and recommend it for any previous OSX user new to OS9. http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/a-dock-301
Also Greg Browser is recommended for any previous OSX user new to OS9 http://kaleidoscope.net/greg/browser.html
With these 2 any OSX user can use OS9!
