Hmm. That's a tough one. There could be a performance hit, depending on
the number of plugins in the other directories and the number of
directories. If the number were small, I don't think it would be a
problem. There shouldn't be a performance hit for those users who only
have the one plugin directory (I don't think the array traversal
overhead
is that bad).
For me, I'd probably have just one extra directory per project, with
maybe ten or so plugins in it. The convenience of having Smarty grab
my plugins on startup would outweigh the performance hit in that
situation.
Besides, I have a feeling that the performance differences we're talking
about here are really small, unless you had a hundred plugins in one
directory. It's hard to say without some benchmarks.
