I couldn't imagine why it would need to reload for every request, but after reading (or reading *too* deeply): http://us2.php.net/manual/en/zend.possibilities.php#zend.possibilities.external http://us2.php.net/manual/en/zend.possibilities.builtin.php I started to get worried. I guess, in the first link above, under Disadvantages, this statement caught me: "The shared objects need to be loaded every time a script is being executed (every hit), which is very slow." This isn't true, though.
