Just which SET FILE/ENTERs are you referring to?  Sure, it sets up a
SYSCOMMON pointer back to SYS0 or V4COMMON (depending on how your disk is set
up), but that is necessary in order to avoid having to copy scads of blocks
of drivers and stuff into SYSE!

*FLAME ON*
It would be very interesting to see how a private copy could be smaller.
It would be even more interesting to see how it would be faster!
If you are offering good advice, show it; don't just tell everyone to go
and botch up their systems...especially when it may not be worth it!
