Just trying to understand this...

Does the object subgraph have to be complete (include all objects, 
classes and methods) to run the task?

Or is there a way objects/code can be loaded on demand like (If I 
understand this correctly) Craig's Spoon system does?

Would it be possibel to save the so created (minimal) image to reuse it 
later?
