Pike & dumping

Hello,

I'm currently trying to make Caudium startup faster. For now it takes 21 seconds for it to load all the modules on my desktop and I found a little improductive to wait so long when I develop on it and restart it often.

I tried to dump the Caudium's pmods as pmod.o files with the Tools.Standalone.dumpit function. The dump works good but the startup is not faster so I wonder, how does Pike load .pmod.o ?

Does it really make things faster?

Do I need a special thing to load .pmod.o if the pmods are not within the Pike official path for modules ? (thought there are in the path given with -M).

Thank you for your answer.
