preloading stashed variables

I'm using 4.34 right now, although I suspect this applies to 5 as
well. I'd like to instantiate a few objects when my application first
starts up, and have those objects stay persistent and accessible
throughout the lifespan of the application. My thinking was that I
would store those objects in stash. My question is, where do I
instantiate those objects? If I instantiate them in !begin, then
those objects will be instantiated every time an action is called, no?

The whole context $c gets reinstantiated on every request, so you can't
store it in the stash.
begin is also called on every request.

Models, Views, Controllers and Plugins are instantiated at startup.
I guess your objects fit in one of those categories. :)

Duh, should have figured that one out myself. Thanks! :-)
