title: Does having many unused beans in a Spring Bean Context waste significant resources?
body: <p>My model layer is being used by a handful of different projects and I'd like to use a single XML Spring Configuration file for the model regardless of which project is using it.</p>
  
  <p>My question is: Since not all beans are used in all projects am I wasting resources to any significant amount if there not being instantiated?  I'm not too sure how lazy Spring is about loading them since it's never been an issue until now.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
