Research direction

Start by reviewing the issue's linked discussion at #3517 and identify how plugin performance should be measured. Establish a baseline, evaluate the potential impact of caching, and define whether the work is worthwhile before implementation. Done means the performance impact is documented and caching is implemented only if the measurements justify it.
