On sites with many widgets installed (but not even activated), the size of data transferred from the DB to the PHP host on each and every page request can add significant overhead and introduce noticeable slowdowns. I can't see a reason why autoload can't be disabled on deactivation of a widget, preloaded on navigation to the widget settings page, and then re-enabled when said widget is activated.",defect (bug),new,normal,Awaiting Review,Widgets,,normal,,,,performance
