----But even rolling 
a partly swamped boat, which in theory should be the "worst" loading 
situation (all the heavy stuff "down" on the upside down deck) is 
certainly no more difficult than rolling an empty boat. 

  I have had the same experience.  When re-entering and rolling the 
kayak fills with  water and rolls very easily- the water filling the 
cockpit helps the roll-- it does play heck  with the arms later after 
all the pumping to clear it however.
