2.4 Page Size
In my noviceness, I downloaded and installed about 100 plugins for my Multisite.
In hind sight, I should have done this on a test box, etc.
However, it seems a ton of script calls are being made. Even if i deactivate every plugin. Many are pig sized Javascript.
So is it possible that even deactivated, many plugins leave script calls in headers? or is this something else? While my site is no skinny and fast girl (jq slider with 150kb sized images), these script calls seem a little insane.
Suggestions?

Hiya!
As it's a slider js that you're seeing loaded it's likely to be your theme - have you tried switching back to the default to see if that gets rid of the load?
Thanks,
Phil
yea - it helps some. i found some theme files to be overly large as well, however, its a large # coming from all the damn libraries being called.
What's a good goal for modern usage? In an opinion?

I tend to always give the advice of installing and testing on a sandbox install. Its easier then as it won't bloat your install.
I gave some advice here which might help:
Often themes and plugins might not remove all they enter into your database. And when other plugins and themes pull whole tables it could end up getting slower and slower as there is bloat.
The best thing to do is minimise your usage. Try to stick to 20 or 30 active plugins. Try not to keep installing others even if uninstall them.
Hope this helps.
Yep - wish I would have thought to do that while back. I wonder there is a means to removing DB bloating old plugins via tables.
In a working theory, where are plugin "load this crap" type settings typically held in a WP database?
Really is an excellent post Tim.
Hey again.
Sadly the best way to get rid of that bloat is by hand, go through and manually do it. I know there are some plugins out there which claim to help clean up but I'd rather not rely on those unless they definitely know the plugins and themes you once installed, remember some might not stick to any kind of coding standard.
Anyway, we have a post over at WPMU.org :
http://wpmu.org/8-tips-for-keeping-a-squeaky-clean-wordpress-database/
There is also a plugin suggestion there. Some look like they might have not been updated in a while.
If you do go the plugin route, then my advice would be.... Backup, backup, backup!!! :-)
Really is an excellent post Tim.
Thanks! :-)

Ohh and this one as well:

THanks Tim I have been doing some playing, and was able to shrink it 20-30% so far, and now have to go through my 800 jscript libraries being called and shrink those as well.
Good to see, you'll have to let us know how to continue to progress :-)
Take care.
