You might consider using freeware utility Monolingual to strip all the extra languages, keyboard input methods, and intel code. I think you should be able to save nearly gigabyte without substantially harming the System.
Another really good freeware tool for clearing out large, useless files is OmniDiskSweeper. It will list EVERYTHING on the HD by size so you can easily find whatever may be lurking in the bowels of the HD. Things to look for are tutorial movies for iMovie, iDVD, etc; and iPhoto & iDVD "themes" for books or DVD that you don't use; and large printer drivers for printers you don't own or normally use, in some cases HP or Epson drivers can be over 500MB. If you NEED to carry around ALL printer drivers, use the GutenPrint drivers and ditch the OEM bloatware for printers you don't own.
