The main advantage would be saving a few bytes of file space. Which is most
significant to the download process, since we've got about 3MB of data,
between ldraw.exe and complete.exe.
The rendering time would be *mostly* unaffected. On the on hand, recursing
into another file takes some time, and that tends to slow things down. But
if the files are smaller, then the IO could speed up a little bit.
