Add. features as plugins? How much in main code?

I wanna discuss: Does it make sense to insert all additional features in the maincode. I fear that will overload and slow down a website. How much are enough.
I think for that we should study and use the plugin possibility. So each user could decide, if he needs a feature or he let it.

Think you have a point there,..

slow down a website

yep this can happen indeed. One of the things can be that external stuff is loaded.

I think for that we should study and use the plugin possibility

yep, we should

Well, the answer is: Is depends.

If you want to have many little features as plugins, the consequences are:

- many different places to setup things
- loading plugin files can use much more time than to have it in the component.

Also, doing things as a plugin often means you can't do things as straight as in the component, you have to watch events or modify results to have the plugins work inserted.

These are some points to be considered.

So the question is: Of which additional features are you talking?
