I'm lazy loading my Doctrine classes in my website. Benchmarking has showed that Doctrine::loadModels('models') takes over 100 ms to complete! I have 118 tables in total, but still...

setting attribute to conservative loading:

Doctrine_Manager::getInstance()->setAttribute(Doctrine::ATTR_MODEL_LOADING, Doctrine::MODEL_LOADING_CONSERVATIVE);

running the benchmark part:

$CI->benchmark->mark('Doctrineload_start');
Doctrine::loadModels(APPPATH.'models');
$CI->benchmark->mark('Doctrineload_end');

And the result:

Doctrineload    0.1085 (seconds)

Is this 'normal'?

'context':
