Why dont you make these addition libraries. They get loaded for the
first time when they are needed, stay in memory as long as possible
and get flushed if the ueser doesnt need them, but the system needs
memory, and dont slow down the next time the user uses an already
loaded addition.

No need to add yet another (for the unexperienced user) obscure setting.
Arent libraries wonderfull?
