Loading the directory index seems to take quite a while here.
So there *could* be a problem performance-wise. What about simply
creating a cronjob that creates an index.html containing the listing
every 10 minutes or so? I don't see a problem with the lag there, as
users are told that creation of the project could take some time.

The improvement I do see there is that instead of walking all directory
entries and dymagically generating a listings page in memory, which is
going to consume some ressources and include quite some disk I/O a static
index.html should keep the needed disk I/O needed for serving the listing
low.

I'm willing to write that script if needed.
