From the developer
Samuel Aguilera's own description of Jetpack Lite, lightly tidied.
A lot of people, like me, miss the WordPress.com Stats standalone plugin and only wants this part of Jetpack.
This plugins completely prevent all modules in Jetpack from being loaded except for Stats and WP.me Shortlinks modules, this means that all other modules are not loaded by Jetpack in any way, saving memory and resources in your WordPress and leaving Jetpack only with the same features of WordPress.com Stats plugin that sadly was discontinued long time ago and replaced by Jetpack by WordPress.com
Current version of the plugin it’s pretty simple, it just uses a few filters provided by Jetpack, so it’s totally fail safe. Also nothing is saved to the database, so deactivating the plugin is enough to revert it effects.
