This might seem a little OCD, but in the past few reboots of my router I've been killing the Asus nt_* processes just to see the impact.
I started doing this after reading RMerlin's post that Notification Center (nt_center) was only half-implemented by Asus and doesn't really do anything.
So after killing (using SIGKILL; SIGTERM didn't work): nt_center, nt_monitor, nt_actMail and observing for a few days, I noticed:

- system load average decreasing by an average of 1.0 as shown by "uptime"
- an increase in free memory of approximately 5-6MB on average
