Flawed OSes are a fact of life, part of the environment GMPI has to deal
with. Actually, I agree, 15 seconds seems ridiculously bad.
However, bearing in mind that a binary may allow multiple plugin object
types to be instanted, and that these objects might have different I/O
types... we do not want the host to have to instantiate one of each
object, query it, etc...

Again, that's beyond our control, however much you or I might wish it to
be
otherwise.
