If you have color filters, a read filter, or a tap that uses filters
active while you're reading the file, the changes will make a big
difference; if you don't have color filters or a tap that uses filters
active, it probably won't make as big a difference - but it'll probably
make filtering the display faster, *ex post facto* colorizing the
display, or running a tap with a filter faster in either case.
