After adding:

[root@dev bin]# /sbin/chkconfig --level 3 httpd on
[root@dev bin]# /sbin/chkconfig --level 3 mysqld on
[root@dev bin]# /sbin/chkconfig --level 3 smb on
[root@dev bin]# /sbin/chkconfig --level 3 yum on

Swap:       666688         88     666600

Not a real big diff.

RunLevel 5 : 312956
RunLevel 3 : 311396

It does seem more responsive......

If you're running a RH-based distro, you can use the chkconfig command to
change this, e.g.:
# chkconfig --level 235 samba on

man chkconfig

I'm not sure how to do this on debian boxen.
