Manage Extensions question

If I open up a site and disable some extensions that I know I won't be
using, are they disabled everywhere? Is there anyway of disabling extensions
for one site but enabling them for another? Lastly, how much of a
performance hit to the extensions make on a system? (this box is a duron
1700+ with 1.5gb of memory).

No, you can't have certain set-ups for certain sites. You need to
enable/disable extensions and then re-boot DW to execute. Therefore,
it's sometimes a good idea to launch the Extension manager prior to
launching DW, enable the ones you think you'll need, and then boot DW.
OTH: It sometimes takes so long time to disable/enable extension that I
tend to keep most enabled all the time.
AFAIK, extensions don't take much of RAM. Only they add to start-up
time, some can actually add quite a lot.

Thanks, Dan. I forgot about the ability to load Extension Manager solo!

Extensions make a big hit on DMX's execution/load time. If you have lots of
extensions installed (be CAREFUL since there are many non-DMX compatible
extensions out there), you would get a snappier and more responsive DMX by
disabling those that are not often used.
