Reduced disk IO and a small reduction in working copy size. At
present the format file is read every time the entries file is read.
With your change more (most?) entries files will fit in a single disk
block so getting rid of format file could halve the disk reads and
reduce the pressure of the filesystem cache. Getting rid of the
format file will reduce working copy disk usage by one or two percent
in some cases.
