Does the "collect profiles" logic operate when we try to look at the control settings whilst flying?

[Mr_sukebe]

I just went in to update the mapping for a control, and was shown a "collecting profiles" timebar.

At the time, I started from the main menu.

 

As the task took maybe 5 seconds to conduct the collection, it made me wonder if this logic was being used if I try to change settings whilst in flight?  

If it is, can it please be disabled, or made optional during flights, as I've had occasions of crashes as a result.
