Suggestion: Most people probably need cups, but not right from the start
(usually you first edit a document etc.)
What I do: I disabled all services that are not essential for login. Then I
have a batch script that starts the rest when the load goes down, i.e. after
login. So acpid, crond, cups, mysql, httpd, privoxy, wine ... get started
while I'm already working. (It's a laptop, so I need to boot/shutdown several
times a day; I need mysql and httpd for some of my databases).
This way I saved something like 40 seconds startup time.
It would be nice if there was a recognized/official way to start non-essential
services after the login. It could be a simple modification of the existing
links in /etc/rc5.d/, like:
S85httpd starts http immediately
L85httpd starts it later as a batch job.
There should also information which services depend on each other, and which
are needed for X.

Well - as long as it is predictable, all is fine. But you want to make
sure that HTTPD and acpid actually WILL start asap. (but not before.)
Think a machine with little RAM and no DMA. its load might not fall
rappidly enough for those services to start, and it would make a
debugging nightmare.
