Yes, the NASPRO bridges load a ton of plugins at discovery time, so can
dramatically slow things down (LV2 stuff parses data files, but does not
load any plugins at discovery time at all).

Updating LV2 itself can't really have an impact on performance since
it's mostly just headers defining the API, not an implementation
thereof.

I have been meaning to add a config file for lilv to be able to disable
dyn-manifest (and thus naspro bridges) at run time.  Hosts can currently
do this, but there's no easy mechanism to do it globally.

Cheers,
