"Apple's basic extension set or whatever it is called" contains video
drivers, network drivers, networking code, and all sorts of other stuff that
Classic doesn't need, because those tasks are handled by OS X.

Also, when you do a normal install of OS 9, lots of stuff is added to the
System suitcase, which is unnecessary when you just want to use Classic.
Takes up RAM, slows down start-up, and lessens Classic's performance.
