Considering that probably TextMate never will be able to handle such  
big amounts of data as quick as Xcode for the mentioned reason, I  
conclude that this proposal is reasonable.

But besides the question of proper policy regarding sub processes and  
big amounts of data, there's still the problem that TextMate in fact  
quits ungracefully (that means without asking whether so save any  
data) when running "yes" from a document, aborting the process and  
waiting until this to happen.
