I have a few modules I believe don't need to be started and are unused. If I removed these would I benefit from it at all (faster boot, better performance)?
here is what I seen could be removed: snd_intel8x0, pcspkr, xfs, and jfs
big thing I want out is the snd_intel8x0 because I don't think that should be here.

Yes, your system would boot faster if you keep any unused modules from loading. My own system boots in about 12 seconds now.

12 seconds from kernel to gui? That seems a bit to fast to be true if so. Can I safely remove snd_intel8x0 and the others listed above or does nvsound rely on snd_intel8x0?

No, I never boot directly into X... that's to a command prompt. Better add about 3 seconds if I'm going to log in, and then issue "startx".

To test if you need these modules, try as root
rmmod module_nameFor xfs and jfs, if you are using initrd, you have to edit /etc/mkinitrd.conf and add
REMOVE_FS="jfs xfs"Then build the initrd again with
mkinitrd autoOffline
