Quick question - Let's say I have a large number of custom DLL study files (example: 60-100 custom studies) in the Data folder, but none of them are not being used or loaded in a chartbook. Will these study files affect the speed (RAM + CPU)?

I know that once the studies are loaded, then they consume CPU resources, but I was wondering what if the studies are not being used, but there are many of them sitting in the folder.
