Which startup applications can I safely turn off?

Question

I see:

I'd like to turn off these:

That depends on what you use and what you might maybe use in the future... — JanC, Nov 04 '10 at 20:43
I guess with some of these its more obvious what I loose if I turn them off. I imagine if I turn off "Bluetooth manager" I will lose Bluetooth, I am ok with that. What do I lose if I turn off "GSettings Data Conversion"? — waterlooalex, Nov 04 '10 at 20:45
I just think these all doesnt need to be loaded on the startup, we could just load them a bit later when the cpu is more free. — Aquarius Power, Dec 24 '14 at 16:47

Bluetooth manager: bluetooth won't work until you re-enable it and re-login
disk notifications: don't disable it, it will warn you if your disk is going to die soon!
login sound: safe to disable
GSettings data conversion: I would leave this turned on, as it might cause problems in the future otherwise
power manager: you better keep this running
remote desktop: might be okay if you don't use it
Ubuntu One: again, if you don't use it...
User folder update: might be useful to keep it in case of changes in the future
visual assistance: if you are 100% sure nobody will ever need accessibility tools on this system...

I'd leave GSettings Data Conversion, Disk Notifications and Power Manager alone.

Please imagine a sidenote about "how this most likely won't effect the overall performance" here. Thank you.
