Comment (by youngcp):

 Replying to [comment:5 azaozz]:
 > I also don't think loading `admin.php` is a good idea. This basically
 loads all of WordPress. The point of having `load-scripts.php` and `load-
 styles.php` is to '''not''' load WordPress three times on every page load.
 That's why they use a whitelist to process only default scripts and
 stylesheets.

 Would using `define( 'SHORTINIT', true );` with `wp-load.php` count as
 half-loaded or less than that?
