I've been working on disabling plugins, but it doesn't seem to be working. I've added these to client.rb, but when running the client with debug output they still get loaded. Does order matter?

Ohai::Config[:disabled_plugins] = ["passwd"]

Ohai::Config[:disabled_plugins] = ["rackspace"]

Ohai::Config[:disabled_plugins] = ["dmi"]

Ohai::Config[:disabled_plugins] = ["dmi_common"]

Ohai::Config[:disabled_plugins] = ["erlang"]

Ohai::Config[:disabled_plugins] = ["groovy"]

Ohai::Config[:disabled_plugins] = ["php"]

Ohai::Config[:disabled_plugins] = ["eucalyptus"]

Ohai::Config[:disabled_plugins] = ["network_listeners"]

Ohai::Config[:disabled_plugins] = ["mono"]

Disabling unneeded ohai plugins will probably provide the biggest benefit:

You can also experiment with Ruby Enterprise Edition. The changes to memory allocation and GC tend to reduce heap fragmentation, which will in turn reduce RSS when chef-client is sleeping.
