This isn't extact and, in the case it is, then it is a malfunction.
In theory, when the ROOT and the USR segment are in momory, the
/setup directory is alway available during the addon's loading.
The only thing the may causes that is the request of a kernel module
that reside in the floppy: usually, the Setup cache all modules in
/tmp/modules, when a first request is made.

We already recently discussed this topic; the answer is: I like to
have all scripts related to Setup in a single directory/disk, because
this facilitate me a lot. If I change something in the Setup itself,
I have to upload 20M of addons, with a different solution.
