None really, except to keep system overhead as small as possible. This system is 4 to 9 years old depending on which part, and has been upgraded numerous times, but even so was still showing its age as far as performance. I wanted the smallest, lightest install of Wheezy 64-bit I could get. I started with a basic terminal system and added the rest piece by piece. So, I just don't run (or have installed) a lot of "support" stuff that normal "desktop" systems do. I even boot to a terminal where I login, then manually start X and Openbox with startx. I'm the only user. Writing my own udev rules was in keeping with that minimalism. Guess I could experiment with your way. Just for fun.
