If you are using Snow Leopard don't be too hasty slimming. Removing PPC code is fine, but there are times that you will need the 32-bit Intel code if plugins don't work in 64-bit. Examples: Safari and Safari Adblock or Quicktime X and the AC3 codec/Perian.
It would be nice to be able to just strip out the PPC code in the latest version until more third-party software has been updated to work in 64-bit.
If you can't get Quicktime X to open a file with AC3 audio, you need to use Command+I to set Quicktime X to open in 32-bit mode. If you don't the AC3 and A52 components included in Perian will not work.
Hopefully there will be a 64-bit version of the AC3 components/Perian soon.
