couple plugins that i found useful for my install:
db cache – cut my queries down from 108 to 9.
gzip output – cut my bandwidth in half trading a few cycles in the process
post to twitter – tweet tweet when a new post is written
rpx – openid/facebook/google/etcetcetc auth for comments
wordbook – cross post blog updates (one line) to your fb if you wanna draw traffic.
