I have 8 plugins currently running on my blog. Usually I'd have a few more, but im still deciding how much I can do with my blog inbetween school and exams..

Performance would be an issue I have with plugins. I cant exactly afford the best of hosting atm, and I like my blog running as fast as possible, so too many plugins is a no no atm for me :P

I'd like to do away with some of the plugins i use and build the functionality into a theme at some stage.

If you had to make do with less plugins would you?
