Normally I would be more in favor of narrowing the scope of management 
to as close to the file as possible.  However, an order of magnitude 
speed improvement sounds great to me and the tests directories have 
certainly been burdensome.  Presumably there is a substantial speed 
improvement while bootstrapping and configuring the project as well.
