No, it isn't a bad thing.  It just takes awhile.  For some reason it
takes a lot longer if you do this at startup than if you do it later
in the game.  It doesn't for me, so I can't really debug this too
well.  (For me, it takes about 1 second either way on an IBM 43P.)

"All other users" (if things go well) will not have to require either
with the next beta---EFS will autoload by default when a remote path
is accessed.
