This is true, and it was a confounding factor in the analysis. So our
initial results were bupkes.

Aaron and I decided to repeat the experiment, so we re-ran it for a ten-day
period between January 6th and January 16th. The results are more modest
but still significant: module storage reduces load time overall by about
100ms. This effect is consistent between mobile and desktop.

It is now re-enabled across Wikimedia wikis.
