It's something some OSs are quite good at.

It still makes sense on diskless clients that boot over NFS and so on.
It's also indicated in some applications where security is sensitive, or

impractical.

I agree there are good reasons for it sometimes. I just don't believe that they necessarily apply to the OP. The maxim of measure first, on the other hand, definitely does apply.
