MEF

Hi all

I'm currently investigating MEF to know the feasibility of some kind of plugin subsystem for a software we are writing at my company. One of the first questions that came to my mind is to know the influence of MEF components in the application load time.

Moreover, if that's something of significant weight, is it possible to load those components completely at runtime?

Thanks in advance Roman
