[Opensim-dev] Effect of entries in [Modules] in OpenSim.exe .ini files

In looking closely at the console logs for testing the .NET 4.0 setup 
I happened to notice the Physics and meshing engines module load 
messages... on the openvue Grid since I have BulletSim and 
Meshmerizer enabled this gave...

[PHYSICS]: Added meshing engine: ZeroMesher
[PHYSICS]: Added physics engine: basicphysics
[PHYSICS]: Added physics engine: BulletSim
[PHYSICS]: Added meshing engine: Meshmerizer
[PHYSICS]: Added physics engine: OpenDynamicsEngine
[PHYSICS]: Added physics engine: POS
[PHYSICS]: creating meshing engine Meshmerizer
[PHYSICS]: creating BulletSim

What is the effect of "Adding" something that is not going to be 
used?  Does it actually do anything and make the process image larger 
unnecessarily.

Seeing this reminded me that the Diva distribution has specific 
[Module] section module disable lines included.  Should we all be 
doing this to improve our setups?  And is there somewhere that the 
Added module, Creating module and the effect of Setup_Modulename = 
"disabled" is documented?

[Modules]

     ;; The following directives are to prevent these not-enabled modules
     ;; from being instantiated. If you change the default service connectors
     ;; of your D2 above, you should make sure the modules you use are not
     ;; disabled here.

     ...
     Setup_CenomeMemoryAssetCache = "disabled"
     Setup_CoreAssetCache = "disabled"
     Setup_GlynnTuckerAssetCache = "disabled"
     ...
     Setup_SimianProfiles = "disabled"
     Setup_SimianUserAccountServiceConnector = "disabled"
