Default Multiple versions of PT 11 - alternating on same system (OSX 10.9.5)

Background:
I found the solution (link below) to the midnam-problem in Pro Tools 11.1-11.3 in another thread.
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...-Tools-11-1-x#
Part of the work-around was to install an older version of Pro Tools.

My question isn't about the Patch Name issue, but regarding keeping different versions of PT in my Applications Folder.
I'd already installed 11.3, so I downloaded 11.0.2 from my user account and put it in my Application folder together with the newer version. (Renamed the different versions to "Pro Tools 11.3.0" and "Pro Tools 11.0.2".

Is it ok to keep both versions?
When I installed the older app it created some helper file, don't remember the exact name. Does that or anything else interfere with 11.3?

Every time I start any of those two versions after using the other, the loading of the plugins is very slow. If I quit and restart the same version it's snappy as usual.
What is happening?
Any system files or the actual plugins are altered?
Also, the Workspace Database is updated each time I change version.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Hakan
