Hold on a minute there.

What on earth is someone doing using a machine for serious audio
work with all that crud loaded and active?

I run with all unnecessary services completely disabled (network is
only re-enabled if I want to upgrade something), the lightest and
simplest possible desktop, with zero cue sounds or special graphics
effects. Pulseaudio, if it's there, is the first thing to go straight
in the bit-bucket.
