part loading optimization

[Justin Kerbice]

Hi,

AFAIK in 0.23, all parts are read and loaded on startup, make the game slower and slower to start as people install more mods. But, does anyone here really use all the parts from all the mods everytime ? I don't think so.

I think create an effective cache one single time, and force people to flush it everytime they add a new mod (auto detect might be great here) which could hold part name, pic and internal ref for display, then when we click on one part, it is actually loaded (loading 1 might not be such a big issue with modern harddrive or even SSD).

Regards.
