Appletalk is a much "richer" protocol than TCP/IP. (TCP/IP has become 
the de facto standard in use, across both Unix and Windows)

richer == more data

However these days the OS is much more TCP/IP based, i.e. the only 
reason you would want to run Appletalk is for compatibility with older 
machines etc.

Switch it off and only switch on when you need it.
