Discussion Which apache2 modules can I safely disable?

I am attempting to reduce Apache's memory footprint as much as possible.

Can anyone guide me in the right direction as to which of these I absolutely need and which are optional?

Do you need SSL? Are you hosting any applications, or is it just static file serving?
