I'm a sufficiently naive user of those systems that I must say I have no
idea what concrete difference it would make on those files.  From where
I stand the only visible difference for me would be that it might delay
the display of the buffer by a few seconds while Org-mode loads (tho
there's a chance, this cost would be recovered later when I open one of
my Org files in the same session).

So could someone summarize what are those "org-mode reflexes" that need
switching, as well as any other impact (including hypothetical future
benefits which will only materialize after we make further changes to
those files to take advantage of some Org features)?
