When I re-built the oACS datamodel to use new-file-storage, I chose
not to rebuild the whole thing. I figured I'd never want the
ecommerce module (or several others), so I commented them out of the
load-data-model.sql file. With the exception of one time where I
discovered that I DID need a particular sql file (and had to read it
in), I have all the functionality I want.
My question, since I have another install ahead of me (on a different
box) is: is there any good reason to do this? Basically, I'm
wondering if there's any real performance gain to be realized by not
bothering to create tables that would be empty anyway?
(One advantage when I first started was that it was easier to figure
out what the remaining tables did, since I didn't have to wade through
tables for modules that I won't use. But the flip side is that I'll
need to load any other modules that I want as I want them.)

Thanks!
