cache_mem 0KB - to prevent it allocating anything for the memory cache.

Possibly also using syslog or logdaemon (UDP) for logging instead of local
disk space.

And the configure options to disable things of course. ie all
authenticator helpers you don't need. all of the file system components
except null etc.
If you need more compile-time code purging let us know which features.
