I know this sounds contradictory, but it is based on the fact that Aero uses the video card to run, thus leaving more CPU cycles and memory to run other tasks.

Tablet PC Input Service- If your not using a tablet pc then you can disable this service. Offline Files- If your not saving data on a file server then you can diable this service. IP Helper- This only does any good if your on a IPv6 network and chances are your not unless connected to an advanced network. Remote Access Connection- Unless your on dial-up or VPN connection then you can diable this service. A few that I know are safe and can be disabled are:
