I don't think that it is about installation
the packages are installed
it is about loading them, so the issue is about performance
and I think that loading libraries when you need them and unloading them
afterwards is the better approach

%similar to the following in S+

%%This loads a given module at the start of the S+ session so that it is always

something like

[1] ".GlobalEnv"   "package:geoR" "Autoloads"    "package:base"
