Ok thanks for all the precise informations you gave me.
Since I do not rely on such parameters, I'll keep my loader.conf without 
that line.

Personnally, I didn't do any benchmarks with or without that parameters but 
the performance before was quite acceptable. (maybe better now, I did'nt 
notice it.) That warning was really bad, that's why I have post.

Bye
