Can you give some details?  How about some output from top or ps aux or some
information about mail usage, web usage, CGI usage, databases usage, etc?  How much
RAM do you have?

What scripts?  If you want to disable the built-in statistics you can do so for all
of your sites through the GUI.  The scripts that generate them are only run once a
night so that won't improve performance during the other 23 hours of the day, though.
If you don't need DNS, POP3, telnet or any other services you can disable them so let
us know what you don't need.

How often are you using the interface and what are you using it to do?  Much of what
you use the interface for can be accomplished easily via telnet or ssh, but I'm not
going to list instructions for everything until I know more - and even then I won't
list instructions for *everything*.  <grin>
