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.
- Start Lingon (google Lingon downloads).
- Find the processes listed below in the lowest three groups in Lingon's sidebar.
- Select, Disable, Save, and Confirm with your Administrator password for each of them.
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.]
