What problem is it a solution to?  Storing the entire config in RAM?
That's not much, and I'm not sure it's worth the extra effort.  I haven't
looked into this portion of the code, so I'm not really sure how it's done
or how much of a difference it can make, but I can't think it would be a
very large performance optimization.
