The iControl server side code was implemented to only update the running configuration in memory. Unlike the GUI, which does a disk flush each operation, we found that the overhead of doing that for large configurations was too long and effected API based applications negatively. The best practice is to make the various changes you want and then issue a System.ConfigSync.save_configuration() method to flush it to disk.
