Mini nodes packs, load on demand

Heavy load from the addon at startup and unused nodes

i wish we could select only some nodes categories in the addon preferences, to avoid this heavy load at startup. [Proposal]

i suppose also that we could have some advanced preferences to select new external node pack path to import some new custom nodes (testing purpose). Is this something that has been discussed for future releases of Sverchok? a kind of fresh review of the addon structure, user experience and developer support.

looking to get your views on this topic, my students and i are making new node types and i am wondering what path to take regarding the implementation, thanks

I tried to measure startup performance and result looks this:

This like it looks on second time (after some caching was done presumably)

sv_icons definitely has too big impact now and probably some other modules. In general it's not clear what could be done to speed up first startup significantly to me. Probably another visualization should be done.

It's possible to create extensions for Sverchok - separate add-ons which add their own nodes.
