Thats clear to me, but this is not what I mean. Lets assume, I use only
O.loadTmp().

If I create a model, this model information is stored in RAM.
If I save this information with O.saveTmp() and load it afterwards with O.loadTmp(), it is also loaded in RAM. 

While I do not measure loading time, just calculation time, why are there differences in calculation time when running the script without O.loadTmp() and with O.loadTmp()? 
It influences the calculation time! Thats what I do not understand.
