jquery performance hit when loading plugins

jquery performance hit when loading plugins

Hi,

I just wondered if anyone have noticed a several ms penalty when loading plugins. For my rather large web app its about 7-15ms per plugin, wether it is used on the page or not. Meaning that just plugging it into jquery causes it. Also it seems to cause this penalty wether the page has alot of dom or is fairly empty (though slight variations in time exists but I cannot say that they correlate with the dom size).

As I am trying to cut loading time on all corners at the moment it kind of bothers me.

Anyone have an explaination, or a solution to speed things up?
