Hi Elmar,

I see your point....
However we are a highly community oriented website.
This means that a lot of content (added by a user) will show up on 
various places.
All these places it can show up need to have USER_INT objects to show up 
dynamically.
We need to answer questions like, give me all hotels under Ecuador and 
sort them by rating.
If you user changes a rating for a hotel, we need to reflect that on 
various places.
Like top hotels in Latin-America, top hotels in Ecuador... etc etc... We 
do rate
more then just hotels, also Tours,  Restaurants etc...... (We designed a 
cache system
to know what pages are under any node in typo3).

We are currently in the progress to remove a lot of extensions and build 
more in PHP
using one extensions that knows all, instead of using a combination of 
smaller extensions
to know bits and peaces... And we are reducing the size of TS by doing 
more work in PHP.

we are heaving fun... learned a lot from our mistakes and basically 
completely re-doing the site
(multi-step ajax based forms, using DAM for images storage etc etc etc....)

Elmar, can you confirm that if a extension is loaded but not active on a 
page that relative
files for that extension are loaded by typo3 during page generation?
