Well back in the old days we had the tradeoff between startup
time and RAM capacity. Nowdays we have none of that except for
high traffic sites with a lot of connections.
As rule of thumb I'd say if you don't know inetd and the benefits
you might have, don't use it and simply stop it.
In the end you're free to choose but it seems that a running inetd
causes some confusion from time to time.
