I prefer to have my cron-jobs check for "pidof jackd" and start only if no
running jackd is found. Fixes this much cleaner:-)

That is one thing to think about. Wireless tends to not disturb you in the
studio because it has a nice going connection. On location it will screw you
because it regularly checks for known networks. And if you have a wireless
sharing the interrupt with the firewire-controller (like I have), you are
doomed unless you disable wireless...

These all do nothing when no network is present. And even then they aren't
resource-hungry nor blocking higher priorities. But an enabled sshd helps when
some strange things lock up your graphics while doing audio:-)

If you are that much into optimization, you should go text-mode only. X and
the kernel-drivers are far more influential on the performance then what you
disabled in the networking-category...
Have fun,
