What apps can I remove?

Hey all!

Since ICS, my phone seems to everyonce and a while lag. So I think I am going to root and speed it up.

To do this, what should I do?

I was thinking of removing all the stock apps which I can. Anything else?

And what apps am I able to remove?

And after rooting how do I do that?

Thanks!
