    So do I have to deactivate the plugins that I am not using inside Jetpack then? if so, this is just the normal Jetpack right? Nothing to do with the Manual Control plugin?

    Agree with you on NextGen and no longer use it as the native wp media functions are excellent.

    Another vote to remove JetPack. I like the WordPress stats, but it's not that big of a deal. I can get stats from Clicky, Woopra or other services that provide more detail, anyway.

    Most of the features in JetPack weren't that interesting to me. By default, it seems to activate services whether you want them or not, so you end up getting another plugin just to make JetPack behave.

    Since it makes calls to services outside of your server, it can add a delay to your load time. That likely varies depending upon which services are active.

    @Mealtog, correct... You manually deactivate them from Jetpack since you had activated Jetpack before installing Manual control.
    All that Manual Control does is to prevent Jetpack from automatically activating them again during updates.

    Hey @KeithAdv, yes, that is almost a must for running Jetpack.
