Description #Description

Using an autoloaded option avoids running database queries or other resource intensive tasks on frequently triggered hooks, like ‘init’ or ‘shutdown’.

For example, ActionScheduler_QueueRunner->maybe_dispatch_async_request() uses a lock to avoid calling ActionScheduler_QueueRunner->has_maximum_concurrent_batches() every time the ‘shutdown’, hook is triggered, because that method calls ActionScheduler_QueueRunner->store->get_claim_count() to find the current number of claims in the database.
