"If you don't use Dashboard, just drag it out of your Dock and forget about it."

Actually, it's still there. The problem with the Dashboard is that its code is integrated with the Dock. When you hack Dashboard to turn it off, you have to kill all Dock at the end, b/c it's part of the system code. The Dock has been the freeze queen of OS X since its introduction and Dashboard is just more bloat-code that really doesn't need to be *part* of the OS.

So, yes. Go turn it off if you aren't using it, and the Dock won't freeze as much.
