Speed up by disabling Screen Sharing

I am trying to squeeze some more speed out of my Mac, as it is necessary for me to also use a Windows emulator on it.

I have tried to clean up things, and I noticed that when I turned off the three following launchd processess, with the free utility Lingon, at least it appeared to run marginally faster.

com.apple.RFBEventHelper 
com.apple.RFBRegisterMDNS_ScreenSharing.server
com.apple.RFBRegisterMDNS_RemoteManagement.server
Then you notice slightly better performance with screen updating and the like.

[crarko adds: I haven't tested this one. I use Screen Sharing all the time. I notice that the current version of Lingon has moved to the Mac App Store.]
