run 'lsmod' and see if other modules are using iptables. You'll have to
remove them first.
But in what way does it "releive" your system?
The memory overhead is negligable, and I believe that the prforance
overhead is negligable with all the rules flushed (you're welcome to test
this, of course).
Will your system be running much of the time with iptables disabled?
