For example using image.gl_load() outside a draw function will crash blender, yet there is no such warning in the docs and it looks like a weird behavior image.gl_load() to be contained inside a draw . Doesn't it slow down blender. Attaching a image.gl_free() for example inside the same draw does slow down blender considerably.

Could you report a bug in gl_load() crashing blender?, I tried to redo
this but couldn't get blender to crash.
