correct, the game basically execs itself twice by, for all intents and purposes, running a second graphics config before the autoexec to set dxlevel settings, even if there's no change. waste of time, and it also resets resolution or window options if you aren't using them as command line arguments. so ditch the resolution, full screen, and dxlevel arguments, and you'll speed up your load time.
