Yes, but Andreas probably meant that plugin support is still compiled into
the server.

Still, we never measured any noticeable performance issue with plugins
enabled (as long as thre aren't any of course, otherwise it will obviously
depend on what the plugins do).

There was indeed a performance issue with the new access control
implementation (now hopefullt fixed) but IIRC it's still only in master, to
be release soon.

Also, we aren't aware of any security issue, if you (Andreas) know about
any security issue I would definitely like to know more about that.
