     Er, modules and context switching have nothing to do with each other.
The only overhead outside of callbacks used by modules is when actually
loading them, and if that's such a concern you can always compile the
modules statically which dramatically reduces that overhead.  (On second
thought, that's not _quite_ true because there are cases where you have
to look up symbols in other modules, but I've tried to keep those to a
minimum so they shouldn't significantly impact anything.)
