Sure it depends, but here are some comments.
If you are doing a route close to your lead limit, I don't think what you are carrying is that unreasonable. For hard, single pitch, red points, you can usually taylor the gear to the route.
For multi-pitch (where most pitches are presumambly further below your lead limit), I tend to carry a lot of cams in the finger to off-finger size just because they are lighter weight. For my default mulit-pitch Yosemite rack, two-thirds of the rack is a .75 camalot or smaller.
Switch to light weight biners. Try to use the cam sling without an extra sling (you can have longer, double gear slings sewn by Yates or someone else). Carry extra slings around your kneck that don't have biners. Slings are really light, its the biners that add up. If you need to extend something, you can use a sling from your neck and "steal" a biner from somewhere else if you get desperate.
Switch to Wild Country Friends (or some other lighter wieght piece) for anything that is hand sized or bigger.
