When the files are originally installed, only the surface information of the active (default) size is contained in the file for ‘featherweight’ viewing. As more and more configurations are activated – and saved – more and more surface information is included in the file. While this increases file-size, it also speeds up regeneration as more and more surface info is already contained in the file and does not have to be recalculated.
