Syslogd is not needed. In fact the live CD and frugal installations do not start syslogd.

Well, if you use the dial up modem script, syslogd is started and used to display messages.

The traditional hard installation always start syslogd. So, in the very limited ram based machines you can safely not use syslogd.

This thread has good hints...

Short: use ash in bootlocal and xinitrc, and disable anything not needed...

If you wish for the best performance, you need to compile your own kernel...
