I don't think you want to kill syslog or cupsd... hehe... well you can, but it depends if you 'need' them running or not.
Cups (cupsd) is used for printing, now if you use the cups deamon or not is up to your setup.
Syslog, is your BSD based logging deamon which is setup to log infromation that is later used by 'some' other apps. I don't know how much OSX uses BSD based log files, or if they have tied in their own logging system into syslog, but it would be a good idea to keep it running.
(I know that on my linux boxen, I sure as hell make sure syslog is running... the only time I can think of a use for not running a syslog deamon is when you are running a live CD or booting off a floppy.)
no sig, how's that for being a rebel!
