 * Hey Jeff,
 * First of all, thank you a million times for this plugin! It saved us quite a 
   few bucks!
 * Front-end optimization is working like a charm. However we are still experiencing
   our horrible loading time for our admin dashboard pages.
 * I’m not sure exactly how the optimization works in the backend, as per my understanding,
   the plugin needs to be active in order to display in the left menu. My thought
   is that it’s listing the active plugins in order to create the left menu and 
   unload all plugins.
 * The point is, our admin is not optimized at all. We are WPEngine customers so
   we maybe thought their exhaustive security/caching measures would’ve break something
   somewhere. I just got off their support after more then an hour of testing and
   we didn’t find any errors whatsoever (expect error 520 due to timeout or things
   we experienced before PO).
 * WPEngine said if the problem is coming from their side, they don’t really know
   what to do without any error code. They are willing to help, but they’d need 
   your input.
 * Is there any chance you have an idea what might be going on?
 * All best,
    Bastien

 * I should have read a similar question before asking. Sorry.
 * You can disregard this thread.
 * You need to activate option on PO settings, but it don’t optimize the admin until
   you create rules to do so.
 * We are creating a set of rules for the dashboard and so far it works great!
 * However, as suggested above, it would be great if we could still see the list
   of active plugin in the left menu, without having the plugin actually loaded (
   we would load the appropriate plugin on the plugin page only, but it would make
   navigation easier since for now, we have set the plugins page to load all plugins
   so if we need to edit a specific plugin setting, we have to go to the plugins
   page and then to the appropriate plugin settings).

 * Without loading the plugin the admin hooks wont be called to add the menu items.
   The plugins.php page will always show you all active plugins.

 * Is it in in the realm of possibilities that we might be able to store these menu
   items somewhere to display them without having the plugin actually loaded?
 * Menu items would be updated when a plugin is activated/deactivated on the plugins
   page, for example?
