  et al.  Can you say 'registry'?  Drupal now maintains an internal registry of
  all functions or classes in the system, allowing it to lazy-load code files as
  needed (reducing the amount of code that must be parsed on each request). The

  the menu router. This way, a given page request will have all the code it needs
  but little else, minimizing time spent parsing unneeded code.
