What's the purpose of that option to start pcmanfm as a daemon? To have automatically mounted external device etc?

I'm asking this since i'm underway to strip down furthermore lubuntu on a powerbook.

It started that i noticed problems moving windows around the screen (was extremely slow). So i tried with jwm (instead of openbox and other). In the end i sticked with openbox but without lxpanel (tint2 instead, which is eye candy ;) ). Using slim instead of lightdm and nitrogen instead of pcmanfm --desktop to set the wallpaper now i suceed to use, after boot, only 210Mb of ram (starting automatically xscreensaver, tint2, polipo+tor+vidalia,clipit, blueman,keepassx and thunderbird) which seems not that bad to me.

Moving windows is pretty snappy now. But i'd like to understand, if there is any disadvantage not starting pcmanfm in desktop mode. And/or for what it is good to start pcmanfm as a daemon.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Btw, with the help of tint2 launcher & openbox-menu, i have pretty much the same menu as by default in lubuntu
