Personally I will just edit the verbosity out anyway in my version of Zexy. But maybe it's a more general problem: Zexy is one of the bigger libraries, and it alone produces 337 lines of output on startup (yes, I counted). But other externals also send their messages along on load (mine do, too) so with a growing number of externals the startup message overload will be even bigger. I'm not really sure, what to do about this, but it can get annoying, don't you think?
Perhaps Zexy's externals could be combined to form one big library. Then we wouldn't have this problem and it would take many less filehandles (one or two per loaded external) and also less RAM as there wouldn't be as nearly as much fragmentation in the code segment. (think of the PDA's!)
Ok, I'm kidding / trolling / etc: What I'm saying is true but the RAM savings aren't too significant given the ridiculously high amounts of RAM we have nowadays. :-)
