You can load scripts without explicitly invoking the load command if
you put the files you want to load (or links to them) into a single
directory
and set the environment variable NCL_DEF_SCRIPTS_DIR appropriately.
See http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ngdoc/ng/ref/ncl/NclDefaultScript.html.

Any function that is loaded gets an entry in the symbol table
that points to its instruction code tree, which consumes some memory.
So if you load many functions that are never used you are making the
process bigger than necessary, but I suspect the practical effect is
minimal.
