What is the logic flow for plugin_functions.php

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am just curious what the flow is.

It seems these functions are called numerous times on front an back ends.

read_pluginsxml
create_pluginsxml
read_pluginsxml
create_pluginsxml
read_pluginsxml

This seems fishy considering the file io that goes on in these functions.

Also I don't think we need to be doing anything but loading enabled plugins.xml 
on front end, not checknig for new plugins or enabling them automatically.

How can we optimize this so we are not reading the same file over and over 
again per request or reading directories.

I think we can shave 100ms off requests on average by optimizing this.

Good find. 8) 

I've fixed the create_pluginsxml to only to call the second read_pluginsxml 
only when the number of plugins changes. 

There was also a second call to create_pluginsxml at line 89 that wasn't 
required.
