You could surely optimize it quite a bit, I feel certain. The real
problem is that update_option lacks the proper hooks to do this sort
of thing.

So keep a list of all the options, and if any option is ever updated
from something that is *not* a plugin, then you'll know that it's in
the core and can eliminate any checks for it.
