Hi
No this is not the case. It does not read the conf file every time.
See, lilo modifies mbr. When it's reading mbr it does not know what
operating system and file systems it's going to handle. If I set win95
and win98 dual boot using lilo, how do you expect lilo to read
/etc/lilo.conf when it does not know where linux resides? That's not the
point. You try running lilo after you change /etc/lilo.conf and see if it
continues the same faulty functionality. If it does, then we need to pondr
over the problem.
Let us know....

lilo is not an application. It's a system tool and nobody expects it to
change it's behaviour frequently. It's a setting to be done once that
generally require very infrequent attention
