This I would like to have more explained. For want purpose you should run
irqbalance on system with minimum devices, auditd on system without 
selinux (which I recommend to switch off on system with slow cpu and low 
memory). Why cpuspeed on cpu that does not have any of frequency 
switching. I'm also in doubt about rpc* and nscd to be really necesary on 
browsing machine. Avahi is needed only for file sharing services, so this 
is also not essential to run Fedora.
