You can improve system performance by turning off parts of your system
software you’re not using. For example, if you’re at home and not connected to
a network, you can turn off networking-related software. More of your
computer’s memory is then free for other tasks.
This version of the Extensions Manager control panel makes it easier to turn
extensions on and off.

used by specific components. For example, you can see which items are
used by QuickDraw GX graphics software, and turn just those on or off.
