CentOS is great, but the default installation includes many running daemons you likely do not need. Here's my one liner to disable things that are typically not needed for my game servers where FPS rarely fluctuate more than 10% on default and xen kernels. This includes no bluetooth, software RAID monitoring, print server, mail server, portmapper/RPC/NFS, etc to name a few - so double check these if you aren't familiar with them first.

That command disables them at startup (run levels 3-5) and stops them. Oh, and take xfs (X font server) out of the list if for some reason you run a GUI on your server.
