Pros/Cons to GTalkService, EasService, and MailService ?

[Kendall]

All,


What are the Pros/Cons to having these services running all the time by default?

• GTalkService
• EasService
• MailService

Primarily, I am concerned that GTalkService is slowing down Internet browsing. Is it just me? Is it possible to turn GTS off permanently?

Thoughts?

Thanks.
