Plexus is certainly not blazingly fast, but I believe machine hosage
is the main reason for the slow server responses (together with AFS
choking on all those accesses from Matt's homedir ;)
I might look into profiling 3.0 before we install it for real, but
it's going to be in both Junior Lab wait and discuss interface wait.
eichin: the way it's set up, Plexus 2.* usually require's the file the
first time it's needed (I think ;).
With Plexus 3.0, you can specify files to preload (which is going to
be almost everything =) in the configuration file, "local.conf"; the
rest of registered extensions are loaded each time you use them.
(ObPlug: local.conf is a bit gratuitous, but cool.)
I checked, and 3.0 does do preloading properly.
