Ostensibly to speed up the boot, free up system resources, and not make the
system vulnerable to any exploits that target that service. Frankly, I don't
find disabling any default services to be of much benefit to the average
user.

Hi Gerry,

None that I notice.
> How does it benefit you?
Makes file retrieval faster.
> In what circumstances do you turn it off?
During some testing of various things, to minimize chances of interference.
But that is just a general rule of thumb with a lot of things that load at
boot.
