Java classes are loaded when they are needed, so I would assume
no changes to classes loaded.

In theory it should be possible to create a JRE subset with only
some modules.

I don't think the Java license permits it.

I don't think there is much point. Given todays network speeds
and disk sizes the JRE is relative small.

I assume they have done the split for the same reasons other
would want to use the module system. To decouple things better
and make it easier to maintain.
