I keep saved sessions for each of my standard test cases. I wouldn't reload
the m100 ROM every time; I'd just open the "known good
to go for this particular test" emulator session file.

(On closer inspection, I suddenly realize that it is actually the Graffiti app,
and not the Security app, which was missing. I
assume the reason is the same.)
Interesting. Is that the only thing which is compressed? Seems it might have
made more sense to keep all the overlays compressed,
and only uncompress the set of overlays which are actually in use. Of course
having just said this, I realize it is probably better
to have something the user is likely to delete (i.e. the Graffiti app) be
compressed.
Looking around for other things which may be compressed, I find HostExgLib in
the "Delete" form. What is the HostExgLib? What do I
lose if I delete it?
