Optimizations for localized values for plugin metadata

[jacobsantos]

The enhancement from #3089 loads all of the localized (.mo) file content for the plugins. When a user has many plugins with localized translations, this can slow down the page or crash PHP (use up all of the available memory).

Yeah, good luck with this one.

Replying to jacobsantos:

Yeah, good luck with this one.

we've only so many options for this one:

• wontfix
• increasing the memory limit on the plugins.php page (not that great)
• splitting localization files in two

the last two options are only partial fixes:

• increasing the memory limit will only hide the problem under the rug, only to see it re-occur later on
• splitting the localization file isn't much better, since the localized plugin files may end up getting used anyway when multitudes of plugins are active

suggesting wontfix
