Yes, cold VCLs are considered loaded in terms of memory usage,
but in a cold state.

It means that they have a lower footprint, but an overhead still
exists. To lower the footprint, varnishd and (well-behaved) VMODs
release any resources that can be acquired again once the VCL is
warmed up prior its use. Just telling varnish to `vcl.use` a cold VCL
will automatically go through the warm up phase, and set the VCL as
active once it reaches the warm state.
