NO that gives the tree"

         su - root     # "su" ran by sudo
             -su         #  "su" as a SHELL user id root.
                           #    acting like "bash"

Where "sudo -i" gives the following tree:
    bash                 # as your user
       -bash             #  as the "root" user (started by sudo)

This minor difference can have a Speed and/or functionality difference.

The second version will also more likely function in LOWER memory and/or
LOWER number of avable file handles conditions.
