Re these recent threads :

It is always a good idea, indicative of the intelligent and considerate 
poster to a user's support list, to start by reading the available 
on-line documentation.
For example, at http://httpd.apache.org/, one finds links to
Documentation
   Version 2.2
which leads to a page full of information about
   Security Tips
   Authentication, Authorization, and Access Control
   Performance Tuning
   Log Files
   Modules  (see S for mod_Status)
and
   Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Reading this documentation beforehand is also a sign of respect and 
appreciation for the work of the many competent volunteers who have 
spent a lot of their time composing it and making it available.

That is not entirely true.  Most register a hook provider to evaluate if
they are the candidate for providing auth, injecting filters or handling
the request.

Those hooks do cost some cycles to evaluate and answer, even if the answer
is always 'no, not this module'.

So you are wise to remove modules that are not used.

Also, some security flaws in the past have exploited only one module
of httpd.  The users who had not loaded or enabled that module were not
affected.  So it is also a courtesy to the next administrator down the
road (or yourself) to simplify the number of modules loaded.

If you just load modules but don't actually use them (ie, no directives
in config), then no.
