Maybe we can get plugins info in a thread at startup to make sure plugins info are cached in the UI process asap. I wonder if other ports do something like that or GetPluginInfo is just faster.

The problem then is when do we update the cache? Maybe we could save also the md5sum of the plugin in the cache or something like that, so that when a new version of the plugin is installed we update the metadata.
