Hi Michał, Without knowing a lot about the underlying implementation, I would expect those flags to make no difference in performance. They exist for safety reasons (so you don't modify a dataset by mistake), not as an optimization.
As for the docs, that seems expected. The documentation can't list all the things that a flag does not do.
