Were the zexy externals one reason load-time took so long?  Do extra externals effect Pd's performance?  I'm wondering if anyone's done any tests.

i doubt that. i can only test on linux and i don't use pd-extended, but 
here's a test i just made:

zmoelnig at ferrari:~$ time pd pdquit.pd
pd_gui: pd process exited

real    0m0.466s
user    0m0.001s
sys     0m0.023s
zmoelnig at ferrari:~$ time pd -lib zexy pdquit.pd
pd_gui: pd process exited

real    0m0.466s
user    0m0.003s
sys     0m0.017s


the "pdquit.pd" just closes pd with a loadbang.
so there is not really a difference.

trying the same with "-nogui" i get:

zmoelnig at ferrari:~$ time pd -nogui pdquit.pd

real    0m0.004s
user    0m0.001s
sys     0m0.002s
zmoelnig at ferrari:~$ time pd -nogui -lib zexy pdquit.pd
