Disabling Network Services?

I read the paragraph below on another site and I really don't understand it, but I'm interested in implementing it if it will speed up my computer. I'm hoping one of you tech geniuses can break this down into layman's terms for me or point me in the right direction to learn this stuff.

Here is what was written:

As far as services, I don't use networking other than internet and I just manually create a host file with each PCs name and IP in it and I set my router to give the same IP address to each PC based on MAC address (but hard coded the ip address on the lan card and disabled DHCP to kill another service.) You will be amazed at how much faster your PC runs when you kill all the services relating to networking and just use your host file for resolution. Also, in your TCP settings on your lan and/or wifi card, KILL ALL THE WINDOWS NETWORKING CRAP, just run only TCP/IP (and maybe QoS, but I think that is a waste as well)
 
I've done something similar to that, but it didn't speed up my computer. And it was like hell to troubleshoot it when something went wrong, because everything was manual. I don't recommend this at all.
