We try to keep the number of scripts we run to a minimum and haven't really noticed any performance problems on our blog. But I think these things are worth it. Go Horns.

(assuming you host your own blog) I like almost all hosted blogging software- blosxom, wordpress, etc. And yes, Akismet is essential. But it seems that adding JavaScript to help with stats that get sent to another site (goog analytics, clicky, statcounter, hitbox, feedburner etc) could be problematic at times with performance for something you could just as easily do with your own htaccess logs. (maybe not as easily with the RSS though) Maybe I'm wrong and should try them again. . .

While it wasn't designed with blogs in mind, I've found the data helpful. While I've used Google Analytics, Performancing, FeedBurner (for stats), and MyBlogLog, Statcounter remains the tool I check most frequently. I’ve used Statcounter ever since I started blogging.
