Agreed 24 is a bit over the top. The more you run, the larger you overhead will be. In addition, the more likely you’ll get plugin conflicts. Each (plugin update) can be like playing Russian Roulette.
A really cool WP plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/p3-profiler/ scans your site (you activate the scan) and gives a details description of all the plugins your using and their load times etc etc.
I’d try and get your plugin quota down to at most 15. Though, the less you have the better
