Modules Loaded By InitRD Vs. Modules Loaded By /etc/rc.conf

I have udev disabled and specified my modules in the modules array in /etc/rc.conf and was messing around with mkinitcpio.conf and noticed that you could specify your modules there also. I have about 30 or so modules I need loaded. Which method is better (quicker)?

in mkinitcpio you should only load those modules needed for booting the kernel. No need to add all your modules to mkinitcpio - it will slow down your boot.
