[cdt-dev] Why does CDT contribute to early Startup?

["Oberhuber, Martin" <Martin.Oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear CDT developers,

I noticed today that CDT contributes to earlyStartup:
Window > Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown
   "C/C++ Development Tools Debugger UI"
   "C/C++ Standard make Build UI"

I'm slightly worried about these entries, because they
mean that even if I do not use anything from CDT it
will activate practically all the CDT plugins (since
Debugger UI depends on UI, which depends on Core; 
Make UI depends on Make core); thus making my Eclipse 
startup time worse.

Is it really necessary to have these start up 
automatically? What happens if I disable these?
Can these be improved in the future to allow for
lazy plugin loading and thus improved startup time?

Fast startup time is quite important for our 
commercial product...

Thanks,
