Good to see that there's some performance tuning so TM can work better
with large files.

However, since I've checkout the whole tree of bundles from the
repository, it takes TM noticably longer to start up. I'm  guessing this
is because of all the bundles I have enabled, although I haven't tested this.
Are there any plans to do some optimisation there as well? (e.g. read
bundles as they are needed and do the rest lazy? This has the downside
that not all commands are available immediately, but if you really need
commands and use them outside the bundle, you should perhaps move them to
a personal bundle or the default bundle?)
