[web2py] are external modules reloaded with each request?

Are modules defined in applications/app/modules reloaded with each request? It appears so; because when I modified the module changes are picked up right away without restarting web2py. If this is the case, what is the point of moving codes from controllers/models into external modules?

I thought the point was to use modules instead of models since modules are only loaded when you do a local_import().

I'm wrong, the default is False. So it seems by default it should not be reloading.
