Everything streams. No exceptions. The only file operations 
provided to game code at run time are asynchronous operations.

And if you exploit that correctly, this is one of those things 
that can increase boot times, actually. Create your 
config/database/whatever objects, request files, instead of 
initialising them all in order and slowing down because of 
synchronous IO they all go to sleep and streaming system can 
serve files up as quick as it gets them from disk.
