If anyone has resources or is willing to share his knowledge of OS X System Daemons and Agents - spotting and unloading the unnecessary ones is the main aspect of my dotfiles[1], but resources are often elusive, outdated or plain inaccurate guesswork, the whole process usually takes a lot of reading binary metadata and sometimes plain trial &amp; error (and consequent occassional frustration).<p>But then I managed to saved around 2 GB of Ram just by unloading Daemons.<p>If anyone is interested to chip in, thankful for any link or suggestion.<p>( Already posted this in the &#x27;dotfiles is your backpack&#x27; <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10001996" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10001996</a> but thought it&#x27;s worth another thread )
