You could have a look in /etc/rc3.d/ and rename services you don't
want running to K?? instead of S??. Then you can log out of your gui,
change to a console, log in and switch to run level 3 for bare
bones, then back to 2 for the lot.

In theory it shouldn't make much of a difference, unused memory will
get swapped out as needed. But i guess I can understand wanting to do
it.
