It was just one of many.

Alone it wouldn't have been very noticeable, but I did many small optimizations like that, which ultimately shaved about 20 seconds of setup time.

Looking from another angle, the app boot time on CI (not eager loading) was a bit more than 10 seconds, this saved over half a second, so a ~5% gain for an afternoon of work.
