You should know better than that! (-:

You can recompile a kernel optimised for your CPU, with only what you need in 
it, and the drivers needed during boot builtin rather than modules.

Also...

You can have a look at what each service is doing, and reduce it. For example, 
get Squid to check a local DNS first, don't ask Apache to load modules you're 
not actually using, don't load (x)inetd if you're not using any of the 
services in it. And so on.
