Now, in terms of performance, it's a similar thing. You identify exactly what you need in your firewall, what you can replace with intermittant services rather than persistant, and also what can be replaced with pure staff power; re-design and roll out with only what you need; the understanding being that you do not turn anything off later without replacing it with another form of that service, or a modified version. But also, performance can be affected by the software itself - not all algorithms are equal and before buying deep analytics that are going to sit on your network, you should understand the code and whether there are better options out there; even bringing an in-house team to write the code so the footprint is small and the drag on performance is as minimal as possible may be worth the money in the long run.
Trim all the digital fat, and make sure only the best designed code is in place.
P.S. I suspect that of those admins interviewed, many of them didn't fully understand the options available in their software. Even bloatware can often be configurable to minimize features and for performance fine-tuning. Know your apps backward and forward, spend time with the application tech support to identify areas for improvement, and if that isn't working - buy another product.
