Heightmaps

What exactly does the Heightmaps module do? The description is pretty vague. I've tried the game both with and without the module installed and can't tell any difference.

Thanks.

It's basically a package of pregenerated planet terrains for the game to use so that it doesn't have to generate them from scratch each time you play. It saves a bit of memory and helps speed up game creation/load times.

Thanks. The reason I ask is because of a a problem I'm having with DA. I was wondering if it's possible the heightmaps could have any effect. Sounds like the module is pretty harmless. I'll go ahead and run it.
