Yes, please remove any unnecessary skins; if you feel up to it, collapse 
all your skins into a single directory.  It causes a lot of extra 
overhead to go look up attributes (objects) in skin directories.  On a 
faster machine it isn't as much an issue; but on a slower machine you 
spend a vast amount of time in getattr() lookups.
