True if the user saves modules and does not delete modules.sqfs. IMHO loading from modules.sqfs is slower than saving modules and delete modules.sqfs. But if someone is not aware of boot time, there is no need to save modules at all. The pro would be, that we don't need a new config option. > We also may change defaults for UPDATE_MODDB - set it ti true instead of > false.
