Re: How to minimize /dev (using udev)?

I am somewhat surprised to find so many devices in /dev when using udev

 % ls /dev|wc -l

More than 600 entries in /dev is hardly the lean mean /dev promised by
udev...

Under other Linux distros I've ended up with _far_fewer_ devices. Are
all devices in /dev created by udev under Debian, or is there some other
tool that creates additional ones?
How can I get rid of the ones I don't need?

But none of the posters showed proof that with/without udev actually makes a *difference* that makes the system run *better*, other than the number of devices. So what?
