That is true for any website that controls the sessions of 
authenticated users.

I wouldn't say that.  The contributed modules are what others think are 
handy dandy tools.  Some have better developers and maintenance methods 
than others.  Some *you* end up debugging before you can use them.  
Always test modules in development before moving them to production.

The problem with selecting a large amount of new modules to activate is 
the install process.  Nearly all the modules will install a table or 
two and creating tables will take some time.  If your PHP limits are 
set to factory default or less and you choose several modules you could 
easily reach the stop processing threshold.  This isn't a Drupal issue 
it is a system configuration issue.  Both Apache, PHP and MySQL (or 
whatever DB you use) need tuned to meet your needs.
