 code alot and not be much slower (half as fast - 0,3 vs 0,15 seconds for
 120 plugins) if we got rid of the registry and just loaded all plugins and
 trusted ld.so and the kernel to speed that up.

+
+ - no way to separate GPL plugins from non-GPL plugins

+ - more plugins loaded in means more symbols to conflict
