What is Cura doing when it is "loading machines"?

[mkoic 2]

During startup, it seems like message that shows up the longest is about Cura "loading machines".  Is this the process of loading profiles for every 3D printer in the database, or are the "machines" something different?  If the former, it would be nice if you could choose which machine(s) it loads so that you only have to wait while the machine(s) you care about are loaded.

There is plugin to prevent loading machine profiles which are not in use:
