A base install of D7 only has 75 tables.

Poll module does not create tables unless it is enabled, and if you
uninstall it, it should delete them. If you don't use poll, and you
uninstall it before upgrading it, I don't think you'll see anything
after upgrade.
If you once had it enabled, then the update would try to update it (I
think).
My D7 blog (updated from D6) has 125 tables, including poll,
poll_choices, and poll_votes, which is a fairly normal number for a
simple D7 site.

Discussions about shared vs. dedicated hosting aside...
Why does a default Drupal "install" create all the tables for all
the core modules at once, as opposed to when the modules are
enabled? Maybe this has changed and I should go look again, but
it seems to me that I have a lot of Drupal sites with, for example:
| poll | | poll_choices | |
poll_votes |
tables that I have never once used.
Is there a reason these aren't enabled on demand as opposed to on
install?

It's my oft-stated opinion that no non-trivial site will ever
live happily
for long on shared hosting. Trivial sites do fine. I have my
D7 blog on
Dreamhost, which has unlimited everything. But you see, it's
not really
unlimited, because they kill long-running processes, etc.,
etc. So it's
fine for a site that does not have many visitors or lots of
modules.
Dreamhost and some other hosts are even fine where you have
lots and lots of
databases or files. But it's the actual use where they get you.

Jeff,
Kudos to you for finding a shared host where you can get
decent
performance, from your perspective, for such a set-up.
I just had one bad experience after another with Drupal on
shared hosting.
I finally caved and got a dedicated box with support.
The amount I pay for a dedicated server is paid back to me
many times in
therapy bills I save.
In my case, I was always yelling at the shared host for
lousy performance
before they would come to me complaining I'm using too
many resources. But
all the power to ya' if you and your clients have been happy.
The host coming after you, however, is to be expected.
best,
Shai

phrase to the collective Drupal vocabulary, Jeff. :-)
