If you once had it enabled, then the update would try to update it
(I think).<br>

My D7 blog (updated from D6) has 125 tables, including poll,
poll_choices, and poll_votes, which is a fairly normal number for
a simple D7 site.<br>

Discussions about shared vs. dedicated hosting aside...<br>
<br>
Why does a default Drupal "install" create all the tables for
all the core modules at once, as opposed to when the modules
are enabled? Maybe this has changed and I should go look
again, but it seems to me that I have a lot of Drupal sites
with, for example:<br>
<br>
| poll | | poll_choices | |
poll_votes |<br>
<br>
tables that I have never once used.<br>
<br>
Is there a reason these aren't enabled on demand as opposed to
on install?<br>

It's my oft-stated opinion that no non-trivial site will
ever live happily<br>
for long on shared hosting. Trivial sites do fine. I
have my D7 blog on<br>
Dreamhost, which has unlimited everything. But you see,
it's not really<br>
unlimited, because they kill long-running processes,
etc., etc. So it's<br>
fine for a site that does not have many visitors or lots
of modules.<br>
Dreamhost and some other hosts are even fine where you
have lots and lots of<br>
databases or files. But it's the actual use where they
get you.<br>

Jeff,<br>
<br>
Kudos to you for finding a shared host where you can
get decent<br>
performance, from your perspective, for such a set-up.<br>
<br>
I just had one bad experience after another with
Drupal on shared hosting.<br>
I finally caved and got a dedicated box with support.<br>
<br>
The amount I pay for a dedicated server is paid back
to me many times in<br>
therapy bills I save.<br>
<br>
In my case, I was always yelling at the shared host
for lousy performance<br>
before they would come to me complaining I'm using too
many resources. But<br>
all the power to ya' if you and your clients have been
happy.<br>
<br>
The host coming after you, however, is to be expected.<br>
<br>
best,<br>
<br>

As I side note, I just spent a few minutes
googling the phrase "chuffed<br>
to mint balls", since I had never heard that
before. Thanks for adding that<br>
phrase to the collective Drupal vocabulary, Jeff.
