Hi,
I use late binding, I load the package when I start using it. For
example for ido mode:
(defun ivan-ido-file ()
"Find file, late bind ido."
(interactive)
(ivan-ido-late-bind)
(ido-find-file))
(defun ivan-ido-late-bind ()
(unless ido-mode
(require 'uniquify)
(ido-mode 'both)))
I then bind C-x C-f to ivan-ido-file, it will load ido the first time
I need it. This makes my emacs faster to start.
The full code for ido is here
https://kanis.fr/svn/trunk/wk/lisp/emacs.d/ivan-ido.el
I use it for bbdb and gnus as well, it's on the same path.
