I am no expert so correct me if I am wrong.
Certain physical assets such as textures may be loaded from a file so we first remove the old texture and replace it with a new one.
Other things are calculated like shadows, so if we apply a more complex algorithm we can get a nicer shadow, we can calculate this on the fly without loading any assets.
