well yes, naturally.

so i see 2 options:
the dumb one: use monolithic zexy ;-)
the clever one: only load those objects/libraries you really need.

again: zexy should not produce 337 lines of verbosity on startup.
if used in a monolithic way, it will produce 10 lines of a splashscreen
(no, i have not counted ;-)); if you are using the broken up version you
will get as much lines as you need ;-) i cannot imagine that you are
using 43 distinct zexy object-classes in your patch.
