I've done similar things and also did the following...
I dumped devfs and hotplug. I turned off all the daemons that start stuff at
boot time that I really don't need started at boot time like ntd,
consolefonts, samba, pcmcia, etc.... It'll boot a bit faster that way, but
you won't make any great gains as sooner or later you'll be starting them up
anyway....
