Yes, precisely because this is a laptop (i.e. it is sometimes offline).
Also, I currently have only the laptop here; so, I have the choice
between having the news locally or read/post after ssh'ing a remote
machine. I prefer the former solution.
BTW, I also have Apache on a PDA (Zaurus), to be able to have access
to my local website.
However they do not seem to take much memory: killing the daemons
does not free much memory.

That would be 8 MB. This isn't very significant.

I don't think so. Well, after the reboot, my machine is quite
responsive. Disabling spamd probably helped (and the reboot too).
