Josh, + all

Here are the ones in Intend on removing, please see comments below and let me know if my logic is flawed.

----- Original Message -----

Virtual Hosting - about 250 domains

PHP, mostly x-cart, and Forums Invision Board and phpBB

MySQL (accessed mostly via PHP)

static html pages, but, sigh, my partner insists we parseall files a shtml (Includes),

OpenWebmail using the speedy cgi backend.

SO here is the list of modules loaded. Which ones can be removed? Do you think it will help speed and memory usage?

TIA - Grant
