Widgets Preference Pane (free)
http://www.ego-systems.com/Products/widgetsprefpane.html

is the ultimate way to control Dashboard.  It's free, dead easy to use, 
no knowledge of the terminal is required, and it has a bunch of useful 
features.

Features include closing a big security hole, allowing you to use widgets 
on the desktop, and wallpaper in Dashboard.

I've noticed a performance increase when using Widgets Preferences Pane 
to turn off Dashboard.
