If you have a large part of your plugin code base devoted to the admin stuff, split it into another file. In your main plugin add this in: if (is_admin()) include('plugin-admin.php'); No need to have PHP read and compile a bunch of functions that are only used by a couple of people on a small percentage of page views. I been doing this on WP plugins for a couple of years. Drupal also went to a similar system with their modules in D6. Another good tip.
