Delete them. These checks set some prefs in the KB. If you don't use
these prefs, you can disable these checks by suppressing them from your
disk.
Note that these tests don't send packets over the network, and should be
faster than 3 seconds (on my PIII 600, they take 0.04 secs each).

Yes it would.
