 * if you are absolutely sure you NEVER need comments at all then just put die(‘
   no comments!’); at the top of wp-comments-post.php 🙂
 * also, Akismet is over-rated and a waste of money imho, there are plenty of free
   plugins who stop spam. They do require the user to enter some text into some 
   form when posting a comment, but they do ensure that only human comments get 
   through and Akismet don’t always do that.

 * The simple solution is to use a third party service for stats like google analytics.
 * There is probably a way to customize wp-slimstat, but that would require a database
   hit every time someone loads the page regardless of how you do it and you can’t
   do it with W3 Total cache since it serves static pages without PHP. Quick-Cache
   loads pages through PHP and you could get thats using that IF you add some pre-
   cache-page-serving slimstat hook. This would all require some PHP editing, and
   you don’t seem to speak PHP.
 * If you server has as much load as you indicate then, as said, a third party stats
   service would be the best solution. Leave it to google or something like that,
   there are many free stat services to choose between.

 * This is much likely because WP/webserver does not have write permissions to that
   folder. chmod 755 /home/anand/public_html/Wordpress/wp-content/plugins/ or 775
   depending on who owns it (webserver user should own it and 755 should be enough).
 * You do not say anything about server/OS, and I don’t know much about this Windows
   thing, but I’m fairly sure there’s a way to set permissions there too.
