As an owner of a Mac Plus, I find that my System file is a lot bigger than
(I think) it needs to be.  There are a few resources in there that have
absolutely no use to me, such as the color icon resources. 

My question is, is it possible, and/or profitable to streamline the
System by removing the resources that have no use?  Say, for instance,
I remove all the resources that use Color Quickdraw, would my System
still work fine, and most importantly, would it be smaller?  Faster?
