I think a significant portion of that can be eliminated by reducing MAXUSERS, but it's quite possible I'm speaking out of my arse. If you blow away most of /etc and set up a completely customized environment, you might very well never need more than a handful of processes (ever tried MASUERS=2?) but it may have a detrimental effect on network performance since it also reduces the number of mbufs and mbuf clusters, which is Not Good (tm) if you're trying to set up a router or gateway or whatever. Just my (insert insignificant amount of your favorite currency here).
