Actually the current implementation in lingucomponent\source\spellcheck\spell\sspellimp.cxx is not optimized since a new Hunspell object is created for each locale once that locale is actually used first for spelling. This if your extension implements a single dictionary that supports more than one locale e.g. nl-BE and nl-NL the content will be read twice into the memory when you are actually using both languages for spelling. As long as you only use one of those languages the actual content will only be read once. However for the time being (as long as not being told differently) I'll think it is usually a valid assumption that a single user will only write in one language/locale. And if he were to use two or more than the other ones will most likely be completely differnt, e.g. one may use nl-NL and en-US along with fr-FR. But I would guess it is pretty unlikely that the same user is going to use nl-NL AND nl-BE. Thus I'm thinking the missing optimization is a venial sin. Or am I mistaken with that?
