Lazy Loading of Dynamic Dependencies

You can defer the loading of a shared object dependency until the dependency is first referenced by establishing the object as lazy loadable. See “Lazy Loading of Dynamic Dependencies”.

For applications that require a small number of dependencies, running the application may load all the dependencies whether they are defined lazy loadable or not. However, under lazy loading, dependency processing may be deferred from process startup and spread throughout the process's execution.

For applications with many dependencies, employing lazy loading will often result in some dependencies not being loaded at all, as they may not be referenced for a particular thread of execution.
