[41CL] is it recommended to unplug module images during an upgrade?

Is there scope for a slight performance enhancement in FLUPD, during the CPY phase that copies the 8 pre-update flash sector pages to RAM buffer 0x810, by only copying the pages that are not being updated?

i.e. there seems no point including pages that are going to be updated, in the CPY to 0x810, only for them to be immediately overwritten by the IMP import to 0x810 from the PC?

The AUTOVFY CRC would still work, since that is done after the IMP.

would that be worth doing?

This feature was on my original list of requirements, but I ran out of space. Currently there are only half a dozen unused locations available in the rom image.
