Hey Sampson, nice work. I should probably add this to my Flashing Totorial sticky, but I haven't been able to keep up with all the new stuff people are releasing. Glad to see there are more options available every day!

This is something of a debatable issue. That's the way many of us used to think, however there is reason to beleive that there IS a big difference as far as memory usage.
Basically, stuff installed afterwards seems to leave less memory available than stuff pre-loaded in the ROM.
A bunch of us have been testing some theories, but it most likely has something to do with the system cache and priority threading of the OS; Code contained in the ROM has priority over installed applications, and may run in designated memory spaces.
Obviously, if you're creating a "clean" rom, you want to leave out unnecessary things. However, if its something that a majority of people DO use, I'd recommend leaving it in. Either way, you should at least know that it makes a difference.
