Are you running virtual machines on this host? If not, you can remove the xen kernel and xen tools which will automatically disable all the xen and related services. As far as I can see, most (or all) of the other services are necessary (or desirable) for your system. Disabling them will quickly illustrate the "law of unintended consequences" with a non-functional or otherwise broken system.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!
