I have an average of 10-20 and I don't see how is possible to achieve some of necessary functionalities, without or with just few of them. Most of them if are well written don't affect too much the speed of the website. I use WordPress as a CMS for my clients.

I use Wordpress to make sites of static content a lot, and there's no reason to have Akismet installed.
