Yeah, I agree it should be lazy loaded.

Depending on whether it's even needed performancewise, it should
probably use an algorithm like:

- Initially, don't load it until first activated
- Pre-load it at session logon when it was loaded at previous logoff
  slash never unmoaded
- Unload it after 96 hours of non-use

That takes care of "I never used it" (-> never loaded), "I tried it
once and didn't like it" (-> unloaded after some time even if someone
never reboots) and "I use it regularly" (preloaded and fast).
