Yeah, there are some annoyances like that. A little bird told me some of that 
may be improved in Lion, but sources at Apple did not respond to my request for 
confirmation.

There are workarounds. A lot of NSWorkspace is just a convenience wrapper 
around LaunchServices, for example. If you can avoid linking against AppKit, it 
improves your process’s launch time and footprint slightly. (The expense is not 
from AppKit per se, so much as making a connection to the window server.)
