Description
The event module is taking up almost a megabyte by itself on my site. Is it possible to reduce the footprint that gets loaded into memory, at least on pages that don't use the module?
#1
The problem is that you can't tell where the module is being used due to the blocks that are provided by it.
#2
The method I've been using in my own modules is to leave hook_menu, hook_block, hook_help, etc inline in the .module file, and copying all the other functions to a separate auxiliary file. All functions that need to be public remain defined in the .module file, but have a body like this:
function myfunc($arg1, &$arg2){
include_once dirname(__FILE__).'/mymodule.inc';
auxiliary_myfunc($arg1, $arg2);
}
If (for example) hook_block is big, and not called from every single page, I extract that body into its own separate file and include it using the method above.
#3
Well, I am not opposed to this. Send patches. :)
#4
Does that mean it will get committed? :)
#5
If it a) works and b) does not make the code too unreadable, why not?
#6
Previously event.module was using up 1622352 bytes on load. After this patch, it uses 243944 (initially) on load.

"If it a) works and b) does not make the code too unreadable, why not?"
If that's the criteria then I'll bring 40222 and #40720 to your attention.
#9
Due to other patches being appled this wont apply anymore. Please don't attach zips.
#10
I have changes event.module to not include event_timezones.inc on all page views. I guess that will fix most of this. I mark this fixed, but invite everybody to send more patches.
