Best Practice for unused entities and components

[cjhorton]

Hi Everyone,

Several months ago I stumbled upon a post somewhat discussing this, but I cannot find it now so I am posting a new message.

What is the best practice for unused entities and components?

Of the nearly 1000 entities my application will only use perhaps 50-100 of those.  Furthermore, I won't be using several of the OOTB components.  Do you recommend just commenting out the entities that won't be called?

Thanks!

first they don't take up any room in the DB since you are not add info
to them.
I doubt you will take a performance hit by leaving them in.

however if you want to and they have no relationships or are not used in
any SECA or service then you can comment them out.

In that case I will just leave them in.

Thanks for the reply BJ.
