It's database size will be much bigger than FireStats's for the same amount of data. don't let the high number of tables in FireStats confuse you - in fact the database size is much smaller than when keeping un-normalized data (like StatsPress do). In addition, FireStats have archiving functionality, which further reduce the size used by old data without loosing almost any functionality for that data. I agree that storing a hit in FireStats 1.4 is more resource consuming than in StatsPress, but this issue is resolved in FireStats 1.5 (not yet released) which will be able to handle just as much hits/sec as any simple stats counter that does not normalize the data, which keeping the data size at minimum.

I haven't had a lot of time to evaluate plugins, I've tried a few in my local test copy of the site but haven't come across that many I like very much so decided to keep it simple. A couple of these sound interesting though - currently I only have Askimet, the FCKEditor plugin and now reCAPTCHA. Useful, I’ll have to take a look at some of these.
