Make assumption about files presence, and thus make the disk search optional and off by default

This module is used by admins only and we would understand what might be wrong if a link does not work.

Therefore, for performance reasons, I think this module should by default just place links to the readme and install files without checking for their existence. Hence, the disk search should be made optional and off by default, IMO.

"Slow module list?

"when you visit the module administration page, Module Instructions scans each module's directory, hunting for install or readme files. if it finds them, it adds links to that module's line on the administration form"

That page is already usually very slow, particularly if it decides to check for updates. Does this module make that page load even slower?
