Avoid or defer writing back to cache storage at launch

The readTime property is unused for compiled or selfie
assets, and thus writing back to storage to persist
this property is useless for those assets, and an undue
overhead when reading such assets, especially at launch
time.

Assets are always loaded from their compiled or selfie
counterparts at launch.

This commit will prevent those unnecessary storage
write operations.
