If anyone has resources or is willing to share his knowledge of OS X System Daemons and Agents - spotting and unloading the unnecessary ones is the main aspect of my dotfiles[1], but resources are often elusive, outdated or plain inaccurate guesswork, the whole process usually takes a lot of reading binary metadata and sometimes plain trial & error (and consequent occassional frustration).

But then I managed to saved around 2 GB of Ram just by unloading Daemons.

If anyone is interested to chip in, thankful for any link or suggestion.
