Sorry, I was a bit brief: doing the checksum requires interpretation of the config files, at least as far as the $IncludeConfig statements are concerned. This is costly, as is the whole gathering process to build the checksum. So to be on the efficient side, I need to have a dedicated HUP for "non-reload" in any case. Thus I think there is not much added benefit in doing the checksumming.
