  34 <PRE>&gt;&gt;<i>      As mentioned above, commands have more overhead (mostly because they
  35 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> use callbacks), so any comparisons done with 4.x don't count even more.
  36 </I>&gt;<i>
  37 </I>&gt;<i>That and loadable modules, which would have the additional overhead of
  38 </I>&gt;<i>context switching.  *shudder*
  39 </I>
  40      Er, modules and context switching have nothing to do with each other.
  41 The only overhead outside of callbacks used by modules is when actually
  42 loading them, and if that's such a concern you can always compile the
  43 modules statically which dramatically reduces that overhead.  (On second
  44 thought, that's not _quite_ true because there are cases where you have
  45 to look up symbols in other modules, but I've tried to keep those to a
  46 minimum so they shouldn't significantly impact anything.)
