My ps list in 4.x was a whole lot shorter so I thought that a lot of these were just a lot of unneeded processes that could simply be removed, but apparently not. heh. Thanks for the info. I guess I just found it weird to have a list like that come up. Especially with all the irq and other items appearing on that list.
