Open the Exensions Manager and change the setting to Base. That's
the minimum set you need to run apps, in only a semi-crippled fashion.
To begin, I'd already had a Min Set made from the Base

Bob LeVitus' Dr. Mac pages here:

I learned much more is possible to pare on my now normal
really bare/superquick Min Set for using with OSX.
His list produces a crippled OS that will crash badly if you try to
run an app that requires certain pieces. If you have the warewithall
to remember what you've done, so as to stop yourself from
double-clicking on the wrong apps... Go for it. YMMV.

I must now disagree, and say that it is Major savings in both
time and used RAM especially after I went in and turned off
VM in the Memory CP before I finally disabled that CP too.
Learn how the classic OS handles itself and VM. With VM turned off,
Classic is now using about 15% *more* *NON-PAGED* *REAL MEMORY*.
With VM turned on, Classic allows large chunks of itself to be paged
out...
