TinkerTool is another great shareware application that gives you access to preference settings that are hidden in OS X. It’s very useful for tweaking your systems, especially for older models where you want to reduce as much resources as possible when running OS X Server.

One example would be to disable Widgets from being activated, which can often happen by accident. Widgets may be useful, but they are enormous memory hogs that you’ll want to avoid in a server setting.

Other tweaks of interest is the ability to turn off extraneous eyecandy within the Finder that can slow down your system.
