It's a fact. - CLI/CGI (as pointed by Derick, but being wrong while saying (fast)cgi is slow ;) ) application which loads extensions if required. gtk is one example, but can we drop all the unknown userland application? - Is it possible to load an extension only in one part of a host? (RTFM?) Does "Deprecated" mean that the function may be droped in any future major release? If yes, the cgi/cli @dl() will not work anymore, and it's not that good. pierre
