Optimizing OSX

Hi forum,

I'm administrating a workstation/server for my lab and I was wondering how to optimize OSX. I was wondering what unnecessary background tasks I could kick off the system so I free up as much memory and cpu power.

Other optimization tips are also welcome (HD parameters, memory settings etc etc..)

I googled around but tips are far and few between... so any help is welcome.

Cheers,
Koen
