Am I correct that the first time the loader starts after applying these
patches every single loader group will have to be updated with the new
attributes, and I should expect a significant increase in the number of
rows in my database?

Is there any guidance on the performance implications of this change?

Is there any mechanism to disable it?

Thanks,
